Overview
- STC Metro will end Line 1 service at 22:00 on Sept. 27–28, Oct. 4–5, and Oct. 11–12, with last departures at 21:30 from Pantitlán and Chapultepec.
- The shortened hours enable CBTC trials on NM22 and NM16 trains required to reopen the Chapultepec–Observatorio segment, which city leaders say is due in October.
- RTP buses will provide replacement service from 22:00 along the Pantitlán–Chapultepec stretch and run until the system’s normal midnight close.
- Lima’s Line 1, carrying about 630,000 riders daily, has a proposal to expand capacity with 31 new trains, upgraded signaling, power and depots, and platform screen doors to reach 1 million daily users by 2030.
- The US$2.7 billion Lima plan is under Proinversión review with a viability decision expected by mid‑December, and the operator has proposed raising the fare from S/1.50 to S/3 subject to MTC approval.
