Thousand of residents rely on the citys buses and minibuses to trip up throughout this large city, however the bus routes are poorly planned wich cause rush hours and traffic. For example a person who should take the bus at 745 am may not take it until eight oclock or even later. Sometimes three or more buses or minibuses arrive in bunches at time that people are waiting, but they cant t he buses because they are full.Thats why, passengers frequently become hard-pressed become this problem causes them to be late for work or to miss important appointments.

Also, immigrants are attracted to this city because is has tourist attractions and offers variety of typical dishes. All of these tourists or immigrants would need rental units that are in good conditions like apartments, flats and single family houses. But, unfortunately, Limas rental units have an old infrastructure. Thats why most of the buildings of Lima downtown are declarated in danger.Even though this, we insist on living in those old buildings. That is not secure for all the people who live, work or go to those places at all. LIMA extended CITY AND BIG PROBLEM, 2000 GILBERT A.
