[[Main Page|EcuaWiki]] › [[Portal:Peninsula|The Peninsula]] › [[Understanding Public Transportation in La Peninsula|Transport]] › Terminal Sumpa

The '''Terminal Terrestre Regional Sumpa''' — usually just '''Terminal Sumpa''' — is the main bus terminal of Santa Elena Province. Long-distance buses to the rest of Ecuador leave from here, along with many of the inter-cantonal buses serving the communes of Santa Elena canton and the [[Portal:Ruta del Spondylus|Ruta del Spondylus]].

The terminal takes its name from the [[Amantes de Sumpa]], the 8,000-year-old burial found in Santa Elena.

== Location ==

The terminal is on the '''Vía a Ballenita''', on the edge of Santa Elena city. It is in Santa Elena canton, not in La Libertad.

== History ==

* '''16 January 2014''' — The terminal opens as the Terminal Terrestre Regional de Santa Elena, adding the name ''Sumpa''. The investment was about $6.97 million.
* '''15 September 2015''' — The Agencia Nacional de Tránsito (ANT) hands over administration of the terminal to the Municipality of Santa Elena.

== Traffic ==
On a normal day the terminal handles about '''512 departures and 8,436 passengers''':

{| class="wikitable"
! Service !! Departures per day !! Passengers per day
|-
| Within the province (intraprovincial cooperatives) || 310 || 2,755
|-
| To other provinces (interprovincial cooperatives) || 202 || 5,681
|-
! Total !! 512 !! 8,436
|}

{{EW dyk|emoji=📊|…La Libertad fits about 112,000 people into roughly 25 km² — one of the densest cantons in Ecuador?|page=Santa Elena Province in Numbers|cta=Compare the cantons →}}

== Ticket Windows ==

Each cooperativa has its own ticket window (''boletería'') along the main hall. Every window has a numbered sign.

'''The window numbers are not in order.''' Walking down the hall, they run 02, 3, 4, 2, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 13, 8, 13, 14, 15, 01, 05, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22. Several numbers appear on two different windows: there are two windows marked 2 (02 and 2), two marked 13 and two marked 15. Look for the cooperativa's name, not only the number.

'''The window number is not the platform (andén) number.''' For example, Liberpesa sells tickets at window 19 but its buses leave from andén 20, while CICA sells at window 20 and boards at andén 19. Check the andén printed on your ticket or posted at the window.

The table below lists the windows in the order they appear along the hall.
