Estación Central (Spanish for "Central station") is the central station of the Metropolitano bus system in Lima, Peru. It is located under the Paseo de los Héroes Navales, between the Plaza Grau and Bolivia/Roosevelt avenues, where the system path's bifurcation begins.

History[edit]

Construction of the station began on July 16, 2007.[1][2] In 2008 the construction of the tunnels that replace the mixed pedestrian zone was carried out.[3]

As part of the construction of Lima Metro Line 2, the construction of a station of the same name for the metro's route is scheduled to join the Metropolitano's station, making it an intermodal station, the first of its kind in the city.[4][5] Construction works for the station will take place under the Paseo Colón.[6]
