List of Bus Routes in La Peninsula

List of Bus Routes in La Peninsula details the local bus lines that operate across the Santa Elena Peninsula. This page is a companion to Understanding Public Transportation in La Peninsula.

Overview

Local buses are the backbone of daily transit on the peninsula. They are easily identified by their bright colors (green, blue, or yellow) and mostly follow the main corridor (Carretera Santa Elena – Salinas). Fares are charged under the municipio-based system described in Fares and Payment on La Peninsula Public Transportation. Passengers can board at designated "Paradas" or by waving the bus down in less congested areas.
