Public transportation developments in Lima involve both infrastructure expansion and service updates. The Metropolitano bus system has commenced empty-load operational testing on the Vía Expresa Grau to create a connection between its Central Station and Lima Metro Line 1’s Grau station. This 2.8-kilometer corridor, which is 95% complete, aims to facilitate transfers for commuters from northern districts. Technical testing is expected to conclude by late September, followed by a trial period in October and November, with full commercial operations planned for December.

Separately, Lima Metro Line 1 has finalized its service schedules for September 2026, including 520 total trips with peak intervals of three minutes. As part of Batman Day Peru 2026, the transit authority also announced that a train car will feature themed branding inspired by the Batman universe starting September 19.
