Touring Bids to Run Lima Sur License Exams as City Weighs Decision

The plan seeks to cut travel time for applicants routed to the Comas testing circuit.

Overview

  • Touring y Automóvil Club del Perú submitted a technical and economic offer to Lima’s city government to keep knowledge and road tests operating in Lima Sur.
  • Touring says the bid is financially viable and follows the same terms used with the Comas circuit’s private operator, Concesionario Circuito Vial Lima Norte S.A.C.
  • Touring urged the municipality to review the offer on technical grounds and to answer quickly to avoid gaps in service for drivers seeking tests and renewals.
  • After the national transport ministry shifted duties to the city, Lima’s municipality now issues Class A licenses and runs testing through its circuit in Comas.
  • Residents have complained about long trips, delays, and disorder at the Comas site, which makes a Lima Sur option significant for applicants from central and southern districts.
