📋 Tender Overview
They are part of the Urban Mobility Plan 2025-2045 and will benefit more than 950,000 people who have difficulty accessing mass transportation.Getting to a main avenue or a public transportation station can take long trips on foot or in smaller vehicles for many people who live in hillside areas of the city. To change that reality, the Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU) plans to implement a network of eight cable cars that connect these areas with the mass transportation system in the city.
The proposal is part of the Urban Mobility Plan (PMU) 2025-2045, which identifies cable cars as an efficient alternative to integrate neighborhoods on slopes or areas of difficult access with the Metro, the Metropolitan and complementary corridors.
In total, this network would be 46.8 kilometers long and would benefit more than 950 thousand people, reducing their travel times and improving their daily mobility.
Among the projects prioritized in the PMU is the cable car between San Martin de Porres and San Juan de Lurigancho, which would have a length of 6 kilometers. This system would allow connecting the Tomas Valle del Metropolitano station, and the future Metro Line 3 station in Tomas Valle, with Proceres de la Independencia avenue, in San Juan de Lurigancho, where the Los Jardines station of Line 1 of the Lima Metro is located. The initiative would benefit more than 173 thousand people.
The plan also includes the 7.4-kilometer Lurigancho-San Juan de Lurigancho cable car, which would benefit more than 126,000 people; the Lurigancho cable car, 3.9 kilometers long, which would benefit more than 50 thousand residents; and the La Victoria-El Agustino cable car, 1.5 kilometers long, which would benefit more than 105 thousand people.
In the south of the city, the Villa Maria del Triunfo-Pachacamac cable car is proposed, divided into two sections: the first of 3.2 kilometers, which would benefit more than 99 thousand people, and the second of 7.8 kilometers, which would serve more than 46 thousand residents of Manchay.
The network also includes the Comas-San Juan de Lurigancho cable car, 8 kilometers long, which would benefit more than 226 thousand people, and the Ventanilla-Puente Piedra cable car, 8.9 kilometers long, which would benefit more than 124 thousand citizens.
In addition to improving mobility, cable cars could bring currently isolated areas closer to natural spaces such as wetlands, ecotourism hills and archaeological sites, which would also open opportunities for the development of these sectors.
The PMU contemplates a portfolio of short, medium and long-term projects, including seven additional Metro lines, which are added to the existing two; 42 kilometers of high-capacity BRT type Metropolitano; 113 kilometers BRT of medium capacity; and 878 kilometers of bus corridors for the benefit of the citizens of Lima and Callao.
