Metrovia, or The Urban Mass Transportation Mu-
nicipal Foundation of Guayaquil, is a non-profit
organization aimed at promoting, administer-
ing and regulating the sector of Integrated Urban
Mass Transportation in a coordinated manner
in Guayaquil. The inspiration to create Metrovia
comes from the city of Curitiba in Brazil where a
similar system was developed 30 years ago. It was
also inspired by Colombia and Quito, but these
cities have innovative foundation systems which
have no costs to the municipality. The “Metrovía”
system is comprised of roads, terminals, bus stops,
infrastructure and equipment incorporated into the
referral system. The core objective of Metrovia is to
control public transportation in the city.
Metrovia is specifically related to the system of
shuttle bus and subway lanes. Up to now, 2 of the
7 planned routes have been put in place meaning
that there is 25 km in total. The third one will come
into operation in 2012. Metrovia attracts 300,000
passengers a day and aims to reach 500-600 thou-
sand daily passengers, if this is achieved it would
mean that Metrovia would count for 30% of the
city’s daily movements. 83% of people in Guayaquil
