Metropolitano is a bus rapid transit system serving the city of Lima, Peru. Its construction began in the year 2006. History The origins of the Metropolitano go back to the Lima Bus project, which was planned and proposed during the administration of former mayor Alberto Andrade Carmona. Its construction began in the year 2006 during Luis Castañeda Lossio's first period as Mayor of Lima. It was put into service on July 28, 2010, during the second term of former mayor Luis Castañeda. On March 18, 2019, the mayor of Lima, Jorge Muñoz announced the expansion work of the Metropolitano line, which consists of the construction of a 12-kilometer road from Naranjal station, in Independencia, to Chimpu Ocllo avenue, in Carabayllo. This system is similar to the TransMilenio of Bogota, and inspired of the previous system that existed on the city the National Urban Transport Company (In spanish: Empresa Nacional de Transporte Urbano-ENATRU) which was the first urban transport system in Peru, that also even inspired other companies such as the Rede Integrada de Transporte (which started the era of BRT).
