"The Trole" Quito Transportation Tip by calcaf38

Quito Transportation: 56 reviews and 126 photos

 
 

Quito is a long and thin city, with congested streets. Mass transportation is provided by the Trole (trolley). What sets the Trole apart from buses I've been on elsewhere is that you pay the fare at the bus stops, which are elevated. The Trole cars stop at very precise spots to align with the platforms. If you are let go between stations (as happens when traffic comes to a dead stop), it's quite a jump to get off.

Cars are frequent, and the one size fits all fare is economical.
