| 🚌 Línea 12 | |
|---|---|
| Operator | |
| Route | Salinas (Fuerte Militar) ↔ Terminal Sumpa ↔ Ancón / Atahualpa |
| Status | ✅ Active |
| Fare | $0.50 – $1.40 (zone-based, see Fare Zones below) |
| Frequency | |
| First bus | |
| Last bus | |
| Cities served | Salinas · La Libertad · Santa Elena · Ancón · Atahualpa |
Línea 12 is a two-circuit public bus route on the Santa Elena Peninsula. Unlike single-run lines such as Línea 7, Línea 12 is split into two connected circuits that some buses run end-to-end and others do not — riders may need to change buses partway through the journey.
| ℹ️ Línea 12 has two circuits. Circuit 1 (marked red on the map) runs from the Fuerte Militar in Salinas to Terminal Terrestre Sumpa. Circuit 2 (marked blue on the map) runs from Terminal Sumpa onward to Ancón, and every 3rd bus continues further to Atahualpa. Some buses run the full Salinas → Ancón/Atahualpa journey without stopping; others terminate at Terminal Sumpa, where riders transfer to the next Circuit 2 bus. |
| ℹ️ How to know where a bus is going: Check the destination sign on the front of the bus. Signs are not always updated in time, so if in doubt, ask the driver to confirm before boarding — especially if you need Ancón or Atahualpa specifically. |
Quick Facts
| 🚌 Línea 12 — At a Glance | |
|---|---|
| Circuits | Circuit 1 (red): Salinas ↔ Terminal Sumpa · Circuit 2 (blue): Terminal Sumpa ↔ Ancón (every 3rd bus continues to Atahualpa) |
| Fare | $0.50 – $1.40 depending on zones crossed — see Fare Zones |
| Frequency | |
| Operating Hours | |
| How to board | Wait at a parada (bus stop), or wave the bus down on less busy stretches of road |
| How to know your bus's destination | Check the sign on the front of the bus, and confirm with the driver — signs aren't always updated |
| Payment | Pay the driver directly — exact change preferred |
Fare Zones

- Check the sign, then check with the driver: Destination signs aren't always updated — always confirm with the driver if you're headed to Ancón or Atahualpa specifically.
- Transferring at Terminal Sumpa: If your bus terminates there, you'll need to board the next Circuit 2 bus to continue to Ancón/Atahualpa.
- Fare: Priced by how many municipios you cross — see Fare Zones above.
- Change: Drivers rarely carry change for bills over $5. Bring coins or small bills.
- Boarding: The bus will stop anywhere along the route — wave it down from the roadside.
