Ecuador has a variety of bus services.

luxury buses — autobús de lujo, which travel the main routes between cities.
standard buses — these travel more local routes and will stop for any passengers that hails them.
minibuses — busetas which service the outer fringes of the bus networks
rancheras — trucks which have been converted to buses by adding wooden benches. These service the poorer, rural areas, along with camionetas, which are converted pickup trucks.
