📋 Tender Overview
Users will be able to travel directly to San Martin de Porres and Cercado de Lima, saving time and money.For the first time, the residents of the Los Huertos de Rio Seco town center, in the district of Carabayllo, can connect with other districts directly and more efficiently, thanks to the fact that the Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), an entity attached to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), authorized the Empresa de Transportes y Servicios Nueva America S.A. to modify its route so that it can serve the residents of said area in the north of the city.
In this town center, located at km. 31.5 of the Highway to Canta, an average of 8,000 people reside, who already benefit from the incorporation of said formal transportation route, which contributes to improving road safety and offering lower travel costs for the population.
In this regard, a local resident said that with this formal transportation service she will no longer use informal transportation, such as buses or other smaller vehicles, which also means savings since she will now pay one fare and not two or more, depending on the destination.
In addition, he highlighted that with this new formal service there will no longer be a need to make transfers, which provides greater comfort, security and time savings, and it will connect with the Metropolitan mass transportation service.
For his part, Erick Reyes, director of the ATU Operations Directorate, said that this route expansion is a great advance for the residents of Los Huertos de Rio Seco, who will finally be able to travel in formal, safe transportation with an economical and fair rate.
In total there are 34 buses from the Nueva America S. A. Transport and Services Company made available to the residents of Los Huertos de Rio Seco. The units are between 7 to 10 meters in length with 24 to 37 seats capacity.
The buses will route the Carretera Lima - Canta, Tupac Amaru, Metropolitana, Las Palmeras and Universitaria avenues, crossing the districts of Carabayllo, Comas, Los Olivos and San Martin de Porres, until reaching Av. Oscar R. Benavides (See map).
