Below are the sequenced stops for both directions. In OpenStreetMap, these nodes should be tagged with `public_transport=platform` and `bus=yes`.

== OSM Relation Structure ==
== Tips for Riding Línea 7 == <!--T:20-->
When mapping this in OpenStreetMap, ensure the Relation includes the following:


=== Way Ordering ===
<!--T:21-->
* '''Forward (Santa Elena → Salinas):''' The set of ways (roads) starting at Terminal Sumpa and ending at Chipipe.
* '''Fare:''' $0.50, $0.60 and $0.70 for adults; students and seniors get 50% discount. Pay the driver when boarding.
* '''Backward (Salinas → Santa Elena):''' The returning ways, noting that some sections in La Libertad are one-way streets, requiring different road segments than the forward route.
* '''Change:''' Drivers rarely carry change for bills over $5. Bring coins or small bills (25¢, 50¢, $1).
* '''Boarding:''' The bus will stop anywhere along the route — just wave it down from the roadside. The landmarks listed on this page are referential guides, not official fixed stops.
* '''Frequency:''' A bus every 15 minutes. After 7:00 PM, service becomes less frequent.
* '''Hours:''' First bus at 5:30 AM, last bus at 8:00 PM.
* '''Safety:''' At night, consider a registered taxi instead.
* '''Transfers:''' At [[Terminal Terrestre Regional Sumpa (Santa Elena)|Terminal Sumpa]] you can transfer to inter-provincial buses. At Paseo Shopping or Mercado La Libertad, you can connect to other local lines.


=== Platform Roles ===
== See Also == <!--T:22-->
Each stop listed above should be added to the relation with the role:
* `platform` (for the actual boarding area) or
* `stop` (for the node on the road where the bus stops).


== Operational Information ==

* '''Frequency:'''
* [[Understanding Public Transportation in La Peninsula]]

### Why this is the "Best" Version:
1.  **The Comparison Table:** By putting the routes side-by-side, users can quickly see which major landmarks (like the Shopping or the University) are served in both directions.
2.  **OSM Technical Guidance:** I included a section on "Way Ordering." This is crucial because, in cities like La Libertad, buses often take different parallel streets on the way back due to one-way traffic—a common pitfall for new mappers.
3.  **Landmark Links:** I've used internal wiki links for major hubs like the Terminal Sumpa and the Shopping Mall. This encourages users to click through and explore more of your wiki.
 
**Would you like me to create a "Bus Route Template" next? This would allow you to simply fill in a form to create pages for Linea 1, Linea 2, etc., keeping the design consistent across your whole site.**
