This is the historical center of Lima. we usually use "combis", "micros" and the Metropolitan because they are the most economical ways to transport.
Metropolitan is one of the most used bus, for only S /. 2 you can go from comas (north) to chorrillos (south).
THAT’S GREAT!! ... But... how did I get a ticket?
Easy!
Using vending machines, where for S/.5 + S /. 6 (the additional amount depends on how much you want to refresh your ticket), you can get a card to go wherever
you want!
You can find a vending machine in all the terminals.
"Javier Prado" is the main avenue in Lima, his route runs east to west and from there you can go to different sites.
Av. La Molina

Av. Brazil The "Beltway" is the avenue linking the north with the south. You can also leave for downtown Lima
The price depends of where are you taking the bus and where you wanna go. For example if you take the bus on the point A and you want to go to the point B, you must pay a full ticket (S/. 2.50 or S/. 3). But if you take the bus in the point C and you want to go to the point D you just pay S/. 1 .
