📋 Tender Overview
The digital tool that will improve travel planning is located at the La Cultura whereabouts, in the San Borja district.The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through the Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), reported that users of the Red Corridor can know the arrival of buses in real time thanks to the implementation of an information totem installed at the La Cultura bus stop, located in the San Borja district.
This technological tool is already in operation and is at the service of thousands of users, providing timely and reliable information that improves trip planning and the travel experience in public transportation.
The head of the MTC, Aldo Prieto Barrera, supervised the Red Corridor Management and Control Center and highlighted that the coordinated work between the ministry, the ATU and the service concessionaires strengthens security and contributes to building a better transportation system for the city. Likewise, he highlighted that this system allows for strengthening the supervision and inspection of the Red Corridor, benefiting more than 170 thousand daily users.
For his part, the executive president of the ATU, David Hernandez, stated that passengers will now be able to plan their trips with the information provided by the totem, such as bus frequency, locations and estimated arrival time of the units.
Technological reinforcement
The installation of the information totem at the La Cultura bus stop is complemented by the UbicATUbus application, a digital platform that allows users to know from their mobile devices the real-time location of the Red Corridor buses and the status of the operation, expanding the alternatives to access information.
It should be noted that the recently installed totem reinforces the operation of the Red Corridor management system, whose Management and Control Center operates 24 hours a day with state-of-the-art technology based on the German IVU system. This platform optimizes planning, fleet control and the information provided to users, helping to reduce waiting and travel times, as well as improving service regularity.
Thanks to the information provided by the IVU system, the ATU strengthens real-time monitoring of the operation, maintains direct communication with drivers and improves the response capacity to incidents on the road. Likewise, drivers can report situations such as theft, cases of harassment, accidents, delays or regulatory actions, guaranteeing a more efficient and safer operation for users.
