Taxis and Shared Transport in La Peninsula
Taxis and Shared Transport in La Peninsula covers taxi and other shared-ride options available across the Santa Elena Peninsula, as an alternative or complement to local buses. This page is a companion to Understanding Public Transportation in La Peninsula.
Conventional Taxis
Conventional taxis are yellow vehicles with orange plates.
- Fares: Within a single city: $1.50 – $2.50; inter-city: $3.00 – $6.00.
- Note: Always agree on the fare before entering, as taximeters are rarely used.
Executive Taxis
Executive taxis are dispatched by phone or app (e.g., Radio Taxi Peninsular) for added security, especially at night.
Safety
Only use registered taxis with visible registration numbers and cameras, part of the Transporte Seguro program.
