Overview
- Service interruptions were significant but uneven, with the heaviest shortages in Puente Piedra, Puente Nuevo, San Juan de Lurigancho and Huaycán, and reports of punctured tires and partial blockades.
- A cobrador was killed and two workers were injured in an armed attack on a Callao combi tied to Consorcio Vial Colonial, and a Vipusa bus in San Juan de Miraflores was shot at without serious injuries.
- The Interior Ministry deployed more than 10,000 police officers to stations, main corridors and strategic points to deter blockades and protect buses under the Amanecer Seguro operation.
- Contingency steps included a two‑hour arrival tolerance and telework guidance from the Labor Ministry, EsSalud’s immediate reprogramming of missed appointments, and universities and Callao schools shifting to virtual classes.
- Transport leaders pressed for formal talks and an elite anti‑crime unit spanning the police, prosecutors and courts, while on‑the‑ground disruptions contradicted the Transport Ministry’s forecast that most companies would operate.
