Overview

• A sector of urban transport stopped work to protest extortion and recent attacks on drivers and fare collectors, with organizers citing more than 120 companies off the streets in some areas.
• Service was uneven: long queues and scarce buses were reported in Puente Piedra, Ventanilla and San Juan de Lurigancho, while other corridors moved with relative normality.
• The ATU said the Metropolitano, complementary corridors, and Metro Lines 1 and 2 operated on normal schedules, and the transport minister claimed roughly 80% of companies worked.
• The Interior Ministry deployed over 10,000 police under the “Amanecer Seguro” plan, and isolated sabotage such as tire‑puncturing was reported as officers guarded key stops and routes.
• The Labor Ministry granted a two‑hour arrival tolerance and urged telework as schools and universities shifted classes online, while police and prosecutors probed shootings including a Vipusa bus attack and a deadly Callao assault linked by firms to extortion.
