Overview
- The Lima pilot now runs on roughly 300 Santa Catalina buses equipped with AI cameras and a driver panic button.
- Live video and alerts are being tied into Central 105, the National Police emergency line, and the PNP’s C4 command center to speed dispatch.
- Interior minister José Zapata and transport minister Aldo Prieto opened the Santa Catalina monitoring room in San Juan de Lurigancho to supervise the fleet in real time.
- Santa Catalina financed the onboard gear and, on select routes, buses carry police officers to deter attacks on drivers and riders.
- The system’s software flags guns, suspicious metal objects, or wanted individuals, and officials plan to extend the program nationwide after integration tests.
