General information
The Aerovía has five stations, one is technical and does not receive passengers. It has 154 cabins with capacity for ten passengers. During the Covid-19 pandemic, capacity was restricted to five users per cabin. In Durán, users can use the urban buses of two cooperatives at no additional cost, which take them to the most representative populated sectors of the neighboring canton.[1]
To take the Aerovía, passengers must buy a card (tarjeta) for $2, on which they can put funds they will use to pay for their trips. Each one-way trip costs $0.70 (or $0.35 for those who benefit from a reduced fare). Senior citizens, children and teenagers, students, and disabled people benefit from a reduced fare.[2]
In general, the Aerovía operates from 5:30 AM to 9:30 PM. During the various states of emergency in Ecuador during 2022, the operating hours were often reduced.
Going from one terminal station to the other takes 17 minutes.
