Rush hour in Lima The main thing is there are illegal transports such as taxis and combis. In aditionally to this, the government has invested the least in public transport, because it isn't enough. Lima has one line of metro from north to south and a bus system named 'Metropolitano', they don't satisfy the population of Lima. In fact, people took the opportunity to make a transport business.

To sum up, Lima has more vehicles than it expected, so if you want to move here you need to do early.
