How Peru revived their abandoned Metro

The full (ish) story of how #Lima got Línea 1.

I went to #Peru for the Inca Trail and couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about Lima's #Metro system 🤓 - because it's surprisingly good for a city with such informal transit.

Lima's challenges with the Metro are shared by plenty of other South American cities - and beyond - making for what might be the most interesting procurement story so far on this channel.

A huge thank you again to Romina, Christy, and Franco for helping out. This was 100% my most ambitious video yet, and these 3 helped colour in the cultural context and history that I was missing. Let me know if there's an angle that you think I should've covered - I always try and do my best to paint the whole picture.
