Overview

  • At Lima’s Atocongo terminal, passengers reported southern-route tickets near S/200 versus the usual around S/100.
  • Nearer destinations also jumped, with Ica trips offered up to S/100 where a normal day is about S/30.
  • At Yerbateros, fares to Huancayo, Jauja and La Oroya were reported at S/60–70, up from roughly S/20.
  • In Piura, agency checks found average increases of 35–50%, with examples including Ittsa to Lima at S/135–220 and Civa at S/180–240.
  • Companies cited seasonal pricing, including Línea’s increase effective Dec. 19, and some routes showed limited availability as passengers called on SUTRAN to inspect terminals.
