Formerly known as camellos or camelitos (Spanish for camels and little camels) for their two humps, the fleet of MetroBus, has been modernized, and now uses large modern articulated buses, such as the Chinese-made Yutong, Russian-made LiAZ, or MAZ of Belarus. The stops are usually 800–1,000 metres (2,600–3,300 ft) apart, with frequent buses in peak hours, about every 10 minutes. The network is linked to several suburban rail stations.[citation needed]

Routes

The network consists of 17 main lines, all identified with the letter "P" preceding the number:[2]
