The current Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the way we interact in various spaces of our social life, one of these spaces is the large transport stations in many cities in the world. In this sense, for the development of this text, a rapid transit bus system that operates in the city of Lima, the “Metropolitan”, will be an empirical case to reflect on this impact. In this way, to understand said repercussion, in the first place, it will focus on the mobility and social interactions of the users of the Metropolitano until before the pandemic. To do so later, analyze how the present context has impacted on the way of interacting in this transport system. In short, to generate greater support for this text, some responses that have been compiled through a virtual form on the experience of traveling in the Metropolitan in this pandemic will be used and analyzed. Likewise, some eth...

El presente texto tiene el propósito de presentar un análisis aproximativo antropológico sobre la repercusión de esta pandemia por la Covid-19 en los imaginarios urbanos e interacciones sociales de los usuarios de un servicio de transporte urbano, masivo y moderno de la Ciudad de Lima, el Metropolitano.

For this, the analysis of various interaction scenarios that were registered will be used, the study of the two morphologies of the Metropolitan, as well as the results and analysis of 137 forms that were intended to support this text. In short, it will seek to understand the Metropolitan as a constant scenario of liminality of urban...
