Background: Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru. It has a population of 9.32 million (January 2018). It is the industrial and financial centre of the country, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total industrial production. The city will host the 2019 Pan American Games.
The Lima metropolitan area includes the city and the seaport of Callao. It is the most populous metropolitan area in Peru, and the third most populous in Latin America (after São Paulo and Mexico City). It has a population of over 11.18 million (2017). The Lima Metro system, commonly referred to as Tren Eléctrico, is the only operational urban rail system in Peru.
Key players: Autonomous Authority of the Massive Transport Electric System of Lima and Callao/ Autoridad Autónomadel Sistema Eléctrico de Transporte Masivo de Lima y Callao (AATE) is responsible for the planning, execution and administration of the Lima Metro.
Protransporte is the metropolitan transport authority of Lima.
ProInversion is the state agency for the promotion of private investment.
TrenLima consortium secured a 30-year concession for the operations and maintenance of Line 1 in 2011. The consortium comprises Peru-based Grañay Montero S.A. (75 per cent stake) and Argentina- based Ferrovias SA (25 per cent stake).
Ositran, the transport regulator of Peru, is responsible for managing, regulating and overseeing activities related to public transportation infrastructure. Key contractors: In 2010, TrenEléctrico Lima consortium secured the USD410.2-million contract to construct Line 1.The consortium comprises Graña y Montero and Brazil-based Odebrecht.
Operational network: The system comprises one line, Line 1, which spans 34 km from Villa El Salvador to Bayóvar, covering 26 stations (20 elevated and six at-grade).
Construction began in 1986 and passenger services commenced on 9.2-km section, covering seven stations in 1990. However, the line was incomplete and did not reach areas of higher demand and density. The construction of the Lima Metro remained paralysed until 2009.
Line 1 was officially inaugurated in July 2011 but revenue services on the line commenced in January 2012. The latest extension opened in July 2014.
The line covers 11 districts and has an end-to-end journey time of 53 minutes.
Ridership: In 2016, the annual ridership on Line 1 was 107.22 million passengers.
Figure 2.2.8.1.1 represents the annual ridership trend on the metro from the year of commencement of operations up to 2016.

The ridership recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.64 per cent and an overall growth rate of 226 per cent between 2012 and 2016. The projected figures for 2025 ridership have already been achieved.
Rolling stock and technology: As of October 2017, 24 trains are deployed. These comprise five six-car trains (purchased in the 1980s) and 19 five-car Metropolis trains (supplied by France-based Alstom in 2013).
The maximum speed of the trains is 80 km/hr and the commercial speed is 40 km/hr.

In August 2017, the consortium of Spain-based companies Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) and Ardanuy secured the EUR2.1-million contract to supervise infrastructure and rolling stock maintenance on Line 1. The duration of the contract is two years. FGC will also provide a report to infrastructure manager Ospitran on possible improvements.
Canada-based Bombardier supplied the Cityflo350 signalling system, which provides on-board automatic train protection (ATP) and automatic driving through an automatic train operation (ATO) with the ATP information and ATO status displayed in the driver's cab. The company has installed interlockings, track circuits and control equipment.
Tracks are standard gauge (1,435 mm). Power is sourced from overhead catenary (1.5 kV DC).
Germany-based Siemens provided the electrification system including the double catenary lines; a 2.6-km-long overhead contact line for the depot; a feeder station (60kV/20kV) with two 20 MVA transformers; two 20 kV cable distribution system rings; 10 station supplies and four 1.5 kV rectifier substations; a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for traction power supply control; and a fare management system.
In October 2011, OTN Systems secured the contract to install the OTN-X3M communication system with a transport capacity of 10 Gbit/s and carrier grade ethernet features to support fibre-optic telecommunications of the metro line.
Fare system: Siemens has provided an automated fare collection (AFC) system based on contactless stored-value smartcards called Tarjeta. The card can be registered for balance protection as well as access to contests and sweepstakes.
The smartcards uses near field communication (NFC) technology. They can be purchased and recharged at all stations.
Extensions/Capital projects: In 2010, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) approved a basic network plan for the cities of Lima and Callao.

Note: *Includes a 7.65-km section developed with Line 2 Source: Global Mass Transit
Line 1 capacity expansion: The new railcars will be used to lengthen the existing train sets on Line 1 from five-car to six-car configuration. This will increase the current transportation capacity from 320,000 passengers per hour to 500,000 passengers per hour, as well as reduce the headway of trains during peak hours from six minutes to three minutes. The trains feature large doors, low floors, extra wide seats and gangways between coaches, dynamic information displays and an interior design favouring natural light. The first train was deployed in November 2017 and 44 six-car trains are planned to be deployed by 2019.
The project is expected to cost USD410 million. Mizuho Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation awarded a USD316-million loan to TrenLima consortium in September 2017.
