📋 Tender Overview
The execution of tests without passengers between the Monserrate and Chosica stations is being coordinated.The mayor of Lima gave new details of the Lima Train Project and reported that, in the coming days, the first tests will be carried out without passengers, a key step before the official start of operations.
The first municipal authority detailed that the first operational section will go from the Monserrate station to Chosica, and that the Municipality of Lima has already begun the process of transferring ownership of the trains and infrastructure to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), the entity that will assume the operation of the railway system.
We are transferring the property to the MTC. In this first phase there is nothing to assume: the trains and the rail are already there for them to circulate. And it will be in a second phase that involves enabling another return lane, explained the mayor. Likewise, in the immediate stage, the stops corresponding to the railway corridor will be installed, an essential requirement before the start of the tests and, subsequently, the regular service.
In the next few days the train will circulate without passengers and next year it will be fully operational, Reggiardo said.
The Lima Train Project seeks to improve connectivity between Cercado and the east of the city, reducing travel times and providing a massive transportation alternative for thousands of citizens.
