Transport: Getting around Quito is easy and very cheap. The long, narrow
city is served by three types of buses. The 'populares', light blue
in colour, cost only around 18 US cents a ride, but are generally
very crowded. Pink "Interparroquial" buses carry passengers to the
outer suburbs, and bright red 'selectivos' are the more luxurious
option which cost around 25 US cents a ride and allow no standing
passengers. Eco-friendly electric trolley buses, called 'troles',
follow two north-south routes along the Av. 10 de Agosto and the
Av. 6 de Diciembre. Taxis are plentiful and also inexpensive,
costing only a US Dollar or two for an average ride in the
city.
