Fans heading to the Casa Albirroja for Paraguay's World Cup debut will have dedicated transportation options, thanks to a special operation promised by the government. The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) announced that electric buses and nighttime services will be available for several cities, ensuring fans can get home safely after the matches.
Electric buses on lines E1, E2, and E3 will extend their service hours on three crucial dates: June 12, June 20, and June 25. These buses will depart from the Port of Asunción every 30 minutes and operate until 4:00 AM. This measure aims to accommodate the large number of fans expected to attend activities organized to support the Paraguayan national team during the World Cup.
In addition to the extended bus services, the "Red Búho" night network will continue its operations between 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM. This service connects Asunción with San Lorenzo, Limpio, Ñemby, and Luque. For added security, these nighttime routes will include police escorts on board.
Paraguayan fans can also take advantage of the integrated fare system, allowing free transfers within a two-hour window. This system helps reduce costs for those needing to combine different services to reach their destinations. Authorities recommend fans check schedules in advance, ensure sufficient balance on their transport cards, and plan transfers within the 120-minute window.
