	=== Linea 7 ===		=== Linea 7 ===
	* '''Route:''' Salinas Military Base ↔ Chuyuipe (Ballenita)		Línea 7 is the longest of the four lines, running the full length of the peninsula from the Fuerte Militar in Salinas through La Libertad and central Santa Elena to the coastal village of Chuyuipe, just past Ballenita. It is the only line of the four that reaches Chuyuipe, and one of two (with Línea 11) that detour through Santa Elena's town centre.

			* '''Operator:''' Cooperativa de Transporte Peninsular

	=== Linea 11 ===		=== Linea 11 ===
	* '''Route:''' Salinas Military Base ↔ Ballenita		Línea 11 covers almost the same ground as Línea 7 — Salinas to Santa Elena centro and on to Ballenita — but is run by a different operator and takes slightly different streets through La Libertad. Its key difference from Línea 7: it terminates at Ballenita and does not continue on to Chuyuipe.

	=== Linea 12 ===		=== Linea 12 ===
	* '''Route:''' Salinas Military Base ↔ Terminal Sumpa ↔ ~~Ancon~~ / Atahualpa (two-circuit route)		Línea 12 is the only line serving Ancón and Atahualpa, east of Terminal Sumpa. It runs as two connected circuits — Circuit 1 (Salinas ↔ Terminal Sumpa) and Circuit 2 (Terminal Sumpa ↔ Ancón, with every 3rd bus continuing to Atahualpa) — and some buses run the full journey while others require a transfer at Terminal Sumpa. Like Línea 7 and Línea 11, it does pass through Santa Elena centro, though it uses a slightly different stretch — Prefectura, Registro Civil, and Terminal CICA — rather than the Parque Central / Mercado La Bahía stops those two lines make.
	* '''Fare:''' $0.50 – $1.40 depending on zones crossed		* '''Route:''' Salinas Military Base ↔ Terminal Sumpa ↔ Ancón / Atahualpa (two-circuit route; check the destination sign or ask the driver)
			* '''Fare:''' $0.50 – $1.40 depending on zones crossed (fare table for Ancón/Atahualpa still being confirmed — see the [[Linea 12]] page)

	=== Linea 13 (Express Route to Terminal Terrestre Sumpa) ===		=== Linea 13 (Express Route to Terminal Terrestre Sumpa) ===
	* '''Route:''' Salinas Military Base ↔ Terminal Terrestre Sumpa		Línea 13 is the express option between Salinas and Terminal Sumpa: it skips the detour through central Santa Elena that Líneas 7, 11, and 12 all make, sticking to the more direct La Libertad corridor. One-way travel time is about 41 minutes (17.1 km) toward the terminal and 45 minutes (18.3 km) on the return leg. It's the fastest choice for riders headed straight to an inter-provincial bus connection — but it also finishes earlier in the day, with its last bus around 7:00 PM, about an hour before Líneas 7 and 11.
			* '''Route:''' Salinas Military Base ↔ Terminal Terrestre Sumpa, via La Libertad only (no Santa Elena centro detour)

			* '''Hours:''' Last bus ~7:00 PM — about an hour earlier than Líneas 7 and 11

			=== Choosing the Right Line ===
			Líneas 7, 11, 12, and 13 all share most of the same corridor between Salinas and La Libertad, so the real question for most riders isn't whether a bus exists, but which one actually stops where they're going. The two tables below help with that decision; each line's own article (linked above) has the full stop-by-stop list.

			'''Quick guide — pick by destination'''

			{\| class="wikitable"
			! If you're headed to... !! Take !! Why
			\|-
			\| Chuyuipe (east of Ballenita) \|\| '''Línea 7''' \|\| The only line of the four that continues past Ballenita to Chuyuipe.
			\|-
			\| Central Santa Elena — Parque Central, Mercado La Bahía specifically \|\| '''Línea 7''' or '''Línea 11''' \|\| Both stop right at Parque Central and Mercado La Bahía. Línea 12 also passes through Santa Elena centro but via the Prefectura/Registro Civil stretch, not the market; Línea 13 skips Santa Elena entirely.
			\|-
			\| Ballenita town centre (Malecón/Mirador, the church) \|\| '''Línea 7''' or '''Línea 11''' \|\| Both stop right in town; Línea 13 only skirts Ballenita's outskirts near the terminal.
			\|-
			\| Terminal Terrestre Sumpa, as fast as possible \|\| '''Línea 13''' \|\| Express service — skips the Santa Elena detour, ~41 minutes one-way, every 20 minutes. Note its last bus runs earlier, around 7:00 PM.
			\|-
			\| Ancón \|\| '''Línea 12''' \|\| The only line that reaches Ancón. About 2 of every 3 Circuit 2 buses turn around at Hospital IESS Ancón.
			\|-
			\| Atahualpa \|\| '''Línea 12''' \|\| The only line that reaches Atahualpa — but just 1 in 3 Circuit 2 buses go this far. Confirm with the driver before boarding.
			\|-
			\| Anywhere between Salinas, La Libertad and Santa Elena, no particular preference \|\| '''Línea 7''' or '''Línea 11''' \|\| Nearly interchangeable for this stretch — take whichever arrives first.
			\|}

			'''Side-by-side comparison'''

			! Line !! Operator !! Endpoints !! Via Santa Elena centro? !! Frequency !! Fare !! Distinctive feature
			\|-
			\| '''Línea 7''' \|\| Cooperativa de Transporte Peninsular \|\| Salinas ↔ Chuyuipe \|\| Yes \|\| Every 10–15 min \|\| $0.50 – $0.70 \|\| Longest of the four; the only line reaching Chuyuipe
			\|-
			\| '''Línea 11''' \|\| Horizonte Peninsular \|\| Salinas ↔ Ballenita \|\| Yes \|\| Every 15 min \|\| $0.50 – $0.70 \|\| Same corridor as Línea 7, different operator, but stops short of Chuyuipe
			\|-
			\| '''Línea 12''' \|\| Not documented \|\| Salinas ↔ Terminal Sumpa ↔ Ancón/Atahualpa \|\| Yes \|\| Not documented \|\| $0.50 – $1.40 (zone-based; fare table still being confirmed) \|\| Only line to Ancón/Atahualpa; runs as two circuits, sometimes requiring a transfer at Terminal Sumpa
			\|-
			\| '''Línea 13''' \|\| Not documented \|\| Salinas ↔ Terminal Sumpa \|\| No \|\| Every 20 min \|\| $0.50 – $0.70 \|\| Express route; skips the Santa Elena detour — the fastest way to Terminal Sumpa (~41 min); last bus ~7:00 PM
			\|}

			Líneas 7 and 11 run roughly 5:30 AM – 8:00 PM; Línea 13 finishes earlier, with its last bus around 7:00 PM. Service on all lines becomes less frequent in the final hour before closing. See [[Fares and Payment on La Peninsula Public Transportation]] for the full municipio-based fare system.
