Bus transport in Ecuador information


Ecuador has a variety of bus services.[1]

The general types of service include:

  • luxury buses — autobús de lujo, which travel the main routes between cities.[2]
  • standard buses — these travel more local routes and will stop for any passengers that hails them.[2]
  • minibuses — busetas which service the outer fringes of the bus networks[2]
  • rancheras — trucks which have been converted to buses by adding wooden benches. These service the poorer, rural areas, along with camionetas, which are converted pickup trucks.[2]

In the capital, Quito, boarding platforms are used to put passengers at the same level as the entrance to the bus.[3]
