About this project

Context: In Peru, the transport system accounts for almost 40 per cent of energy-related greenhouse gas emis-sions. The Peruvian Government has therefore committed itself to taking specific mitigation measures for this area. There is particular potential for savings in local public transport, as this makes up around 70 per cent of all transport services in many cities. However, there are considerable deficiencies in local public transport in Peru’s cities, making it difficult to modernise the public transport system as desired.
