David Hernandez, executive president of the entity, pointed out that, thanks to legal stability, transportation companies have begun to renew their fleets.The executive president of the Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), David Hernandez, explained today that the solution to the public transportation crisis involves guaranteeing legal stability for operators with which they will be able to modernize their fleet with new and adequate vehicles to offer a better service to users.
In statements to various media outlets, the head of the ATU recalled that for 21 years the transporters operated with temporary permits of six months or one year, a situation that he described as structurally irresponsible, since it prevented any financial planning.
No private company can invest in buses that today cost between 90,000 and 120,000 dollars if it does not have a clear horizon, he said.
In that sense, he specified that since April 2025, public transport companies now have legal stability for five years, which has made it possible to begin the renewal of the vehicle fleet. They have five years to organize their investment models, he said.
The president of the ATU pointed out that, so far, thanks to this legal stability, transport companies have incorporated 650 new buses into their fleets. Before, with six months of authorization, a carrier could not have financing or a bank loan horizon. This has already changed since April of last year. Now we have companies with financial structuring, he stated.
