📋 Tender Overview
97% of the routes established in the Route Regulatory Plan (PRR) already have an enabling title.The Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), an entity attached to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), continues to strengthen the public transportation system through the progressive formalization of the routes that operate in the capital and the first port.
To date, 450 routes have a qualifying title, which represents 97% of the 465 routes established in the Route Regulatory Plan (PRR).
This progress reflects the sustained effort of the ATU to organize urban mobility, reduce informality and guarantee a safe, efficient and planned service for the millions of users who travel daily through Lima and Callao.
Authorized routes are itineraries technically approved by the ATU, which include origin, destination, routes, stops and assigned vehicle fleet. Each route responds to technical, social and operational criteria, and is designed to improve connectivity between districts and ensure adequate coverage in prioritized areas.
Of the 450 routes with a qualifying title, 335 public transport companies actively operate with a licensed fleet of 22,067 vehicles to provide the service in Lima and Callao.
Why is it important that a route be authorized?
An authorized route guarantees that the service complies with the technical and legal standards established by current regulations. This implies that the vehicles are licensed and insured, and that the drivers have a current license and adequate training.
The consolidation of authorized routes is also key to moving towards a multimodal transportation system, which articulates buses, complementary corridors, the Lima Metro, bicycles and other modes of transportation. This integration allows us to reduce travel times, improve connectivity and offer sustainable alternatives for citizens.
