Fares and Payment on La Peninsula Public Transportation describes how local bus fares are calculated across the Santa Elena Peninsula, and how to pay them. This page is a companion to Understanding Public Transportation in La Peninsula.
Overview
Local bus fares on the peninsula are based on how many municipios (cities) a trip passes through, rather than distance in kilometers. The three municipios are Salinas, La Libertad, and Santa Elena.
Fare Structure
- $0.50 — Within one municipio. Any trip that starts and ends inside the same city, for example a ride entirely within Salinas, entirely within La Libertad, or entirely within Santa Elena.
- $0.60 — Across two municipios. A trip that crosses from one city into a neighboring one, for example Salinas to La Libertad (or the reverse).
- $0.70 — Across three municipios. A trip that runs the length of the peninsula through all three cities, for example Salinas to Santa Elena passing through La Libertad (or the reverse).
| Trip Type | Example | Fare |
|---|---|---|
| Within the same municipio | Salinas → Salinas; La Libertad → La Libertad; Santa Elena → Santa Elena | $0.50 |
| Across two municipios | Salinas ↔ La Libertad | $0.60 |
| Across three municipios | Salinas ↔ Santa Elena (via La Libertad) | $0.70 |
