Lima Metro Line 1 to Increase Trips Starting June 8 to Reduce Wait Times

The Lima and Callao Metro Line 1 is set to boost its service with more trips during weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, beginning June 8. The Autoridad de Transporte Urbano para Lima y Callao (ATU) announced the schedule change, which aims to significantly cut down passenger wait times at stations.

Under the new programming, weekday trips will increase by 25, from 495 to 520, with train intervals of approximately 4 to 5 minutes during off-peak hours. Saturdays will see an increase of 26 trips, bringing the total to 496, and train intervals will range from 3.5 to 4.7 minutes. Sundays will have 16 additional trips, totaling 270, with intervals between 6 and 11 minutes.

These service enhancements are specifically targeting off-peak hours, including weekdays from 9:27 a.m. to 4:33 p.m. and 8:12 p.m. to 9:12 p.m., Saturdays from 7:05 a.m. to 9:47 p.m., and Sundays from 11:04 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The ATU advises passengers to recharge their travel cards in advance to avoid queues at ticket booths, as this improved service will be in effect until the end of September.
