Overview
- Mayor Renzo Reggiardo and Transport Minister Aldo Prieto formalized the agreement at Lima’s City Hall with ATU and ProInversión in attendance.
- The accord allows the Municipality of Lima to place the donated rolling stock in use by the MTC for implementation within the public transport system as a concession addendum is finalized.
- Initial service is planned as a morning and afternoon pilot carrying up to 12,800 passengers per day with directional runs aligned to peak demand.
- The MTC is evaluating a seven‑train direct service alternative and a larger 17‑train, mostly double‑track scheme that could carry up to 92,500 passengers daily.
- Donated equipment from California’s CalTrain—19 locomotives, 90 passenger coaches and extensive spare parts that arrived in mid‑2025—is valued at about S/900 million, reducing upfront costs.
