'''LĂ­nea 13''' is an '''express route''' on the Santa Elena Peninsula, running directly between the '''Fuerte Militar (Military Base) in Salinas''' and the '''Terminal Terrestre Regional Sumpa''' in Ballenita. Unlike [[Linea 11]], which detours through central Santa Elena, LĂ­nea 13 stays on the more direct corridor via La Libertad, making it a faster option for riders headed straight to the inter-provincial terminal.

The route operates '''both directions''' throughout the day, making it a quick link between Salinas, La Libertad, and Ballenita/Terminal Sumpa.
