In Ecuador, if one needs to get somewhere it will be by the local Ecuador bus. Buying a car or purchasing a flight ticket is beyond the reach of the majority of Ecuadorians thus buses seem to be the best option left. The underdeveloped transport infrastructure means the bus acts as a taxi, subway, plane and train all in one. Buses in Ecuador are as much a part of Ecuadorian life as football. Ecuador Bus is thus the heart of Ecuador transportation.
BUS AS A CHEAP MODE OF TRANSPORT
The cheapest way to travel around Ecuador is by bus. This mode of transportation also offers the traveler an alternative way of seeing the country. Buses in Ecuador offer comfortable seats with leg rooms and well-equipped toilets, television, and air-conditioning. The cost of a bus ride is minimal and because the country is small one can get almost anywhere within a day.
ECUADOR BUS TERMINALS
Each capital city from any province has a ground terminal. Usually they are located in central zones of the city. One can move to any place inside the Country from there. In big cities like Quito and Guayaquil one may also find some terminals that belong to private transport companies, however they also function in the bigger terminals.
Here are some addresses of terminals in Quito and Guayaquil which are as follows:
Quito's Main Bus Terminal
- El Cumandá Ground Terminal
- El Cumandá zone, next to the Defense Ministry
Guayaquil's Main Bus Terminal
- Jaime Roldós Aguilera Ground Terminal
- Av. de las Américas, near the north end of the airport.
It hardly takes a few days in the country to realize that Ecuadorian buses keep Ecuadorian life, particularly rural life, ticking.
