The Urban Transport Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU) has implemented several infrastructure projects to improve urban mobility and reduce congestion in Lima.

Initial efforts focused on a pilot program for a bidirectional bus lane on Arequipa Avenue. A survey of 1,152 citizens indicated 90% support for the measure, noting that travel times in a 1.5-kilometer stretch decreased from 19 minutes to 9 minutes during evening peak hours.

Following this, the ATU activated a new dedicated bus lane on Abancay Avenue in the Historic Center, utilizing physical segregation and new signaling to reduce bus travel times from approximately 25 minutes to between 8 and 11 minutes. Concurrently, construction on Metro Line 2 progressed, leading to the partial removal of an enclosure for a ventilation shaft and the subsequent reopening of a 110-meter section of Avenida Arica in Breña.
