Overview
- A coalition of operators launched an engine shutdown and a moderate march on November 4 to protest extortion and recent murders of drivers.
- Core mass‑transit services continued as the ATU kept the Metropolitano, complementary corridors, and Metro Lines 1 and 2 running, though stations saw long queues.
- Authorities reported partial blockages, scarce buses on some routes, and police monitoring at key points such as Plaza Dos de Mayo and Puente Nuevo.
- At least one bus was shot at in Chorrillos in the early hours, underscoring ongoing security risks despite a state of emergency declared on October 22.
- Universities moved classes online, labor authorities urged telework and granted arrival tolerance, and divisions among transport guilds limited the shutdown’s reach.
