Prime Minister Gustavo Adriansen reportedly said that the measure was taken because of a series of violent attacks on public transport drivers, which have killed four drivers since the end of August.
On Thursday, a large-scale strike of public transport workers took place in Lima, causing the government to close schools and call on companies to switch to remote work.
