Lima Metro Line 1 Restores Service After Person Falls on Tracks

The shutdown exposed the fragility of a corridor serving about 600,000 riders daily.

Overview

  • The operator shut the Gamarra, Miguel Grau, El Ángel, Presbítero Maestro and Caja de Agua stations after Sunday night's fall onto the tracks at Presbítero Maestro and said the event was unrelated to system operations.
  • Trains ran only between Villa El Salvador and Nicolás Arriola and between Bayóvar and Pirámide del Sol during the emergency response.
  • Firefighters treated the person on scene and took them to a health center as police evacuated riders from trains and platforms.
  • Witnesses said the person showed vital signs, and no official update on their condition has been released.
  • Full service resumed Monday morning across Line 1, a key link for trips across Lima that many commuters had to replace with other transport during the closure.
