Metrovia's two BRT trunk lines carry more than 300,000 passengers per day in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Service on each line is provided by a consortium of bus companies, which receive 90.7% of the money collected in fares (the remaining 9.3% goes to the fare collection company). The city provided the infrastructure, but it does not provide any operating subsidies. The third trunk line is expected to open in 2011.
