Since Quito (the capital of Ecuador) is such a huge city like Chicago or New York, most people rely on public transportation. It only costs 25 cents (centavos) which is way better than 60 cents at MSU! and you can actually go places...instead of going 1/4 of a mile on a campus. The buses can be pretty scary when they are packed because people will run into you and that is the perfect opportunity to steal your money or your phone. Here is a picture of mi amiga Emily on a super crowded bus and she is using the two-hand stance to keep her body in place. Oh yeah, did I mention that the bus drivers are crazy? I swear sometimes it feels like a monkey took over the wheel.
I take two buses to school in the morning, but on the way home I take one bus and then walk home from the station. The bus station is called "Ecovia" and red and blue buses go there. The other station right next to it has the green buses for Tumbaco and Cumbaya. Here is a picture outside the bus station walking on my way home.
