  Metrovía is a rapid bus transit system developed in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and is now a widely used means of transportation in the city.
  
  Line 1 was inaugurated on July 30, 2006. Line 2 was inaugurated on February 16, 2012. Line 3 was inaugurated on May 4, 2008. The system will consist of a total of 7 lines.
  
  ## Metrovía Foundation
  
  Established by the city, with roughly 12 employees, this foundation is responsible for overseeing the entire operation. They plan future lines and ensure everything runs smoothly. Unlike other BRT Systems' administrative entities, this one is funded entirely from space rental and other non-fare related income.
