The Municipal Transit Agency (ATM) announced on the night of February 21st the temporary suspension of the Aerovía service in Guayaquil. The decision was made in response to the ongoing rainy season that has been severely impacting the city. Customers were informed that the service suspension took effect immediately on February 21 and that updates regarding the service’s resumption will be communicated through official channels.

In recent weeks, Guayaquil has experienced extensive rainfall, leading to significant disruption across the city. Incidents caused by the weather include fallen trees, flooded streets, and even the collapse of a house. As the local infrastructure is tested by these weather conditions, the government and city agencies are tasked with ensuring the safety of residents and managing the environmental consequences.

The temporary halt of the Aerovía service highlights the broader challenges faced by urban transit systems during extreme weather events. It raises questions about the resilience of such systems and what measures can be taken to better prepare for and respond to similar situations in the future. As the situation develops, the community remains watchful for updates from the authorities on service restorations and efforts to mitigate potential hazards caused by the rains.
