Lima to Offer Tourists Specialized Transport Cards

Just as residents and citizens of Peru purchase public transportation cards, so too will tourists be offered the same fast and accessible manner of paying for a lift on the Lima Metro or the Metropolitano.

Juan Huertas, manager of SIT Pro Transport, says the cards “will allow [tourists] to make five, ten or another amount of trips to be determined at the time” of purchase. Although not rechargeable, the cards can be kept as souvenirs, Huertas points out.

Upon landing in the Jorge Chavez International Airport, located in the capital city of Lima, foreign tourists will be able to purchase said cards, gaining access to public transport and avoiding the long lines at Metro stops.

The Integrated Transport System (SIT) already manufactures the public transport cards used by Limeños and would take on this project, specialized for tourists, as well.
