According to World Bank analysis, only about 18 percent of all jobs in the metropolitan area can be accessed within 45 minutes of travel by public transport or non-motorized transport, and less than 1 in 10 Lima residents report feeling satisfied with public transport quality. The World Bank has estimated that LimaÕs transport woes are costing the entire country of Peru the equivalent of 1.8 percent of its GDP each year. +Transport is one of the most pressing problems in Lima.
