Overview

• Regulators issued a favorable technical opinion with observations, and the concessionaire targets signing a contract adenda by June 2026 once government reviews are completed.
• The US$2.7 billion plan would add 31 large trains, modernize existing fleets, install platform doors, upgrade signaling and yards, and cut peak headways from 3 minutes to 2 and then 1.5.
• The operator says it would finance about 95% of the investment and has proposed raising the fare from S/1.50 to S/3.00, a change that requires MTC approval.
• The Municipality of Lima began the 6.16 km Vía Próceres–Wiesse works with four elevated viaducts budgeted at S/554 million over 580 days, as the Corredor Morado questions the project’s technical basis and potential impact on transit users.
• Transport in San Juan de Lurigancho faces reduced bus availability after operators such as La 50 and Huáscar suspended or cut service citing extortion and recent attacks, with riders reporting thinner fleets despite some routes running.
