A gas-fired trigeneration system in Qingdao PERU Developing efficient and sustainable public transport in Lima Lima is currently developing a metro network which will have 6 lines at completion. The aim is to address the congestion and pollution generated by the increasing traffic and dilapidated state of private vehicles and public transport. AFD is supporting the Government of Peru for the creation of line 2 and part of line 4. CONTEXT 01/01/2015 Since the 1950s, the population of Lima has seen a tenfold Project start increase, with practically no urban planning. The capital of date Peru currently has some 10 million inhabitants, i.e. a third of Lima the total population of the country. This unregulated expansion Location causes a number of difficulties in the main basic sectors (access to water and electricity services, housing, lack of Infrastructure , Sustainable urban infrastructure…). Cities , Climate sector(s) Transport is certainly one of the most urgent problems. The current public transport is provided by an excessive number of Sovereign Non Concessional vehicles which are too small, in a dilapidated state and Loan extremely polluting, and the entire system lacks organization. financing tool(s) In addition, there has been an explosion in the vehicle fleet 120 500 000 EUR since the early 2000s, making travel conditions increasingly Financing amount difficult in Lima. Residents have to put up with up to 5 hours of travel a day to go to work (average speed during peak-time public transport of 8 km an hour). Peruvian Ministry of Transport and Communications Beneficiaries DESCRIPTION 80% of Lima’s residents use public transport to get about and public transport has become one of the main issues and projects for the Government. The project comprises the construction of line 2 (27 km), as well as part of line 4 (7 km), which will include a connection between the airport and the public transport network. They will be Peru’s first underground metro lines and will have 35 stations. It is expected that there will be over 650,000 passengers a day. The lines will be fully automated and line 2 will be connected to line 1 of the metro and to the Metropolitano (Bus Rapid Transit). These are the only two public transport lines currently in service in Lima. There are a number of challenges related to the project, such as the interoperability of the transport system in Lima, fare integration, and the creation of a transport authority in the metropolitan area. IMPACTS Reduction in travel times for users; Safer and more comfortable mobility; Reduction in particulate pollutant emissions and traffic accidents. This project for a new metro line will serve densely populated neighborhoods, as well as important economic areas, such as the port and airport..

Received: 12 March 2019; Accepted: 10 May 2019; Published: 16 May 2019 Abstract: Investments in public transit infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean often aim to reduce spatial and social inequalities by improving accessibility to jobs and other opportunities for vulnerable populations. One of the central goals of Lima’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project was to connect low-income populations living in the peripheries to jobs in the city center, a policy objective that has not yet been evaluated. Building on secondary datasets of employment, household socio-demographics and origin–destination surveys before and after the BRT began operations, this paper examines the contribution of Lima’s BRT system to accessibility to employment in the city, particularly for low-income public transit users. We estimated the eﬀects on potential accessibility to employment, comparing impacts on lower versus higher income populations, and assessed the changes in location-based accessibility to employment before (2004) and after implementation (2012) for treatment and comparison groups.

Executive Summary Upfront costs are a chronic barrier to electric vehicle sales, even for electric vehicles that have a lower total cost of ownership than the fossil fueled vehicles they replace. This barrier is particularly acute in the global market for electric transit buses, which is a priority for public health and climate action in many leading cities.

Country and Sector Background Urban Public Transport Sector Reforms in Metropolitan Lima since 1980. * The 1980s: An Overly Regulated Period The migratory processes and the intense industrial centralization trend, along with rapid urbanization, contributed to the growth of the city of Lima, which in 1981 reached 4.6 million out of 17 million in Peru. The completely regulated urban transport services in Lima, in the 1980s were scarce, slow, unreliable, insecure and very badly maintained. Service was provided by large publicly owned omnibuses (80 to 100 passengers), private (micro)buses (20 to 100 passengers), colectivos (large cars that accommodate five or six passengers) and taxis.
