'''Línea 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, Línea 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.

{{ambox|type=notice|text=The stops listed on this page are '''referential landmarks''', not official fixed stops. In practice, Línea 13 buses will stop at any point along the route to pick up or drop off passengers, unless prohibited by traffic rules. Wave the bus down from the roadside and ask the driver to let you off wherever you need.}}

This direction runs the reverse journey, starting from the '''Terminal Terrestre Regional Sumpa''' in Ballenita and ending at the '''Fuerte Militar (Military Base)''' in Salinas. Note that some stops in La Libertad differ slightly from Direction 1 due to one-way streets — the reverse trip also runs about 4 minutes longer and 1.2 km further.

== Key Stops & Landmarks ==

These are the most useful reference points for newcomers and visitors:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"

|-
| Paseo Shopping (La Libertad) || Large mall, easy to spot. Good transfer point.
|-
| Supermaxi || Large supermarket, major landmark in Salinas.
|-

|}

== Tips for Riding Línea 13 ==

* '''Fare:''' $0.50, $0.60 and $0.70 for adults; students and seniors get 50% discount. Pay the driver when boarding.
* '''Fastest option to the terminal:''' If you're headed straight to Terminal Sumpa for an inter-provincial connection, Línea 13 is quicker than [[Linea 11]] since it skips the detour through central Santa Elena.
* '''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 roughly every 20 minutes. After 7:00 PM, service becomes less frequent.
* '''Safety:''' At night, consider a registered taxi instead.
