Overview

• On October 6, a sector of bus operators halted service and blocked key points in Lima and Callao, including stretches of the Panamericana Norte, with some units circulating with doors closed and not picking up passengers.
• Police operations in San Martín de Porres cleared the roadway by late afternoon and restored traffic, and a PNP officer was injured by a thrown stone near Óvalo Habich during the intervention.
• The Education Ministry ordered Lima schools to shift to virtual classes on Monday, and universities including USIL, Universidad de Lima, UNI, URP and UNFV moved online, while Universidad del Pacífico kept in-person activities with tolerance for tardiness.
• Industry representative Martín Ojeda said the stoppage would extend for 48 hours into Tuesday with the same lines off the Panamericana Norte and Sur, and he reported no formal dialogue had been established with authorities.
• Organizers linked the action to worsening insecurity affecting transport workers, pointing to recent attacks and the killing of driver Daniel José Cedeño Alfonzo in San Juan de Miraflores.
