Lima
subway

Lima's 38 mile "Tren Urbano" is so far comprised of 9.8 km and 7 stations, most of which runs on a viaduct. Opened and closed several times, it only carries passengers on weekends and is in danger of closing for good.




While the tren ligero may not yet be popular with the locals, the lama population uses the line frequently to go between farms. "Saturday night is breeding night", said one lama, as he winked and then spit on the edge of the metro's platform. "It's a great time to get laid, so I love the metro!"
