Buses in Ecuador

Riobamba to Latacunga , 15/2/15( not showing)

Latacunga to Baños 19/2/15( not found)

From Riobamba to Latacunga, you can take a Quito-bound bus that stops in Latacunga. Or you can take a bus to Ambato, then take a bus to Latacunga.
From Latacunga to Baños, you can take a bus to Ambato, then take a bus to Baños.
Many bus companies in Ecuador still don't have websites or publish their timetable online. But buses run frequently on these popular routes & have colorful signs displaying their destinations on the front windshield. They make stops at the major towns, and tickets are super cheap like me (cheapfuq 😉). Buen viaje!

Many thanks Witinerant

You can pick up a bus from Quito to Banos in Latacunga but not at the Latacunga Bus terminal as they don't pass through that part of Latacunga and it will go via Ambato to Banos without the need to change at Banos. These buses are frequent so you wouldn't have to wait long.

Thanks again JGCP. All coming together now.

Hello, regarding the buses, there is useful list of buses in the L.P. travel guide. They list the traveling time and the cost. The guide book is not updated frequently. In South America, we could get anywhere by bus since those countries are well served for the general public who does not owe their own car. I have a problem in USA and do not travel as much as I wish due to the lack of transport, budget accommodations, etc.
