Enhanced public transportation services will be deployed in Santiago on Tuesday, November 11, and Wednesday, November 12, to facilitate the safe and efficient return of concertgoers attending Dua Lipa’s performances as part of her Radical Optimism world tour. The measures, announced on November 10, aim to alleviate potential congestion following the events at the National Stadium.

Concertgoers to Benefit from extended Routes and Metro Hours

To ensure a smooth departure for attendees, Red movilidad is reinforcing several bus routes between 11:00 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. These reinforcements will operate from designated pick-up points in the immediate vicinity of the National Stadium, connecting passengers to various destinations across the city.

Pro tip:-plan your route in advance using the Red Movilidad app or website to identify the closest pick-up point and estimated travel time.

Metro to Extend Hours for concert Attendees

Along with the enhanced bus services, the Santiago Metro will extend its operating hours on lines L3 and L6 until 12:30 a.m. on both concert nights. According to a company release, this extension is specifically designed to accommodate the increased demand from concert attendees.
