of the Metropolitano BRT North Extension22
Project Components
14. The proposed project will be implemented under two components 23:
15. Component 1: BRT infrastructure and equipment (civil works, traffic lights, technological component,
supervision; road safety and universal access; and preoperational component and route management) (US$ 92
million IBRD and US$25 million MML). This component will reduce the travel time, improve access to jobs and
quality of services for the Metropolitano North Extension BRT users. The project will finance the:
(a) Provision of support for the Metropolitano BRT North Extension (US$ 90 million IBRD and US$24 million
MML) , including, inter alia: (i) (1) construction of 10.2 kilometers of segregated busways between Terminal
Naranjal (located within the territorial jurisdictions of the Municipalities of Independencia, Comas and
Carabayllo) and the new Terminal Chimpu Ocllo (located within the territorial jurisdiction of the Municipality
of Carabayllo), 17 passenger stations, 21 pedestrian crossings, two pedestrian footbridges, and one bus
terminal; (2) expansion of the existing bus depot (located in the Sinchi Roca Park); (3) installation of road
safety signaling; and (4) upgrading of the wastewater treatment plant and installation of a technified irrigation
system; (ii) installation of equipment and technology to support BRT operations and traffic control; (iii)

some intersections of the extended corridor mentioned herein; (iv) implementation of environmental and
social instruments; and (v) carrying out of supervision of the works and services mentioned in (i) through (iv)
herein. The travel lanes, stations, bridges, and bus terminal will be implemented with consideration for road
safety, personal security, gender and universal accessibility, including for economically disadvantaged groups,
women, and people with disabilities. In addition, project designs will incorporate best practices in climate
change mitigation and adaptation.
(b) Optimization of the Metropolitano BRT operations and services (US$2 million IBRD and US$1 million MML),
including inter alia: (i) the preparation of a pre-operational plan for the integration of the Metropolitano BRT
North Extension to the current Metropolitano BRT system; (ii) optimization of a services plan and scheduling
of feeder routes; (iii) the development of a personalization module for the Metropolitano BRT integrated
smart card system; (iv) the provision of software for bus programming; (v) the development of operational
performance indicators; (vi) the carrying out of quality of services surveys; and (vii) the provision of training,
preparation of emergency plans and testing and calibration of the Metropolitano BRT operations.
16. Component 2: Project Management and Environmental and Social Management. (US$1 million IBRD and US$5
million MML). Supporting project implementation in the areas of:
(a) Project management, including inter alia: (i) institutional/technical strengthening of the MML PIU and the
TCU; (ii) hiring of Project staff; (iii) carrying out of financial management (including Project audits),
procurement, disbursement, monitoring and evaluation activities; and (iv) carrying out of assessments on the
