Currently, the complementary corridors have 14 operational services: 4 from the Red Corridor, 6 from the Blue Corridor and 4 from the Purple Corridor. Initially, 63 trunk services and 125 feeder services were projected. However, not all of these services have been implemented.

In all currently operational services, the valid means of payment are the Lima Pass card and the Metropolitan card "Metropolitano (Lima)"). The use of cash was gradually displaced by card collection since the beginning of 2019.[22]​[23]​ However, this collection system is provisional, because it did not go through a bidding process and was chosen by the operating consortia themselves.[24]​.

Cessation of operations of the Purple Corridor

At the beginning of March 2024, the representative of the concessionaires of the Morado Corridor, Gerardo Hermoza, announced that the aforementioned route would suspend its operations indefinitely, as a result of the lack of payments by the State that would amount to S/.300 million soles.[25]​[26]​ After a 48-hour strike, in which the ATU allowed buses from other transport companies to cover the route of the corridor,[27]​ the service was resumed. This thanks to the conversations that took place between both parties and the commitment presented by the Ministry of Transportation to pay off the debt, strengthen inspection and regulate the law on scrapping of informal vehicles.[28]​.

A complementary corridor can be defined as a group of bus services that provide service on the same trunk axis, generally made up of large metropolitan avenues. They supply medium capacity routes on mixed tracks and, in theory, complement massive systems such as the metro and the Metropolitan "Metropolitano (Lima)").[16]​.

While the administration of the system is in charge of the ATU, the operation falls to private concessionaires. As of 2019, there are 18 services awarded through public bidding to 6 consortia.[17]​ Likewise, there is a fleet of approximately 800 units, mostly 12-meter buses.[18]​.

The corridors are differentiated by color according to mayoral resolution No. 380-2015.[19]​ Initially five corridors were implemented.[20]​.
