Ecuador has a variety of bus services.

The general types of service include:

  • luxury buses — autobús de lujo, which travel the main routes between cities.
  • standard buses — these travel more local routes and will stop for any passengers that hails them.
  • minibuses — busetas which service the outer fringes of the bus networks
  • 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.
  • In the capital, Quito, boarding platforms are used to put passengers at the same level as the entrance to the bus.
