Structure
A "complementary corridor" can be defined as a group of bus services that provide service on the same trunk axis, generally made up of large metropolitan avenues. They supply medium capacity routes on mixed routes and, in theory, complement massive systems such as the metro and the Metropolitano.[1]
While the administration of the system is in charge of the Urban Transport Authority (ATU), the operation falls to private concessionaires. As of 2019, there are 18 services awarded through public bidding to 6 consortia.[2] Likewise, there is a fleet of approximately 800 units, mostly 12-metre buses.[3]
The corridors are differentiated by colour according to mayoral resolution No. 380-2015.[4] Initially five corridors were implemented.[5]
The Lima Pass smart card is used to access the transit system.[6] The card was implemented on the red and blue corridors on April 18 and June 1, 2019, respectively.[7][8]
