Asked the young taxi man about buses to Quenca. He praised the service and was impressed the way movies are shown on that trip. Reached the train satation around 7:20. It was a small place; there was a sizable crowd. Went in the office to get information. The staff had just gotten in; I sat across a short woman who was firing up her computer; she came to my side to unplug things from the back of the computer and then put them back again. Her computer finally started working. She told me the 8 am train was 'completo'. There was only one seat left in the 9 am train; ticket was $36. What? On their web site it said the ticket was $2.40 or around that. She said that was for another trip that had been cancelled. The only trip that was available was of Avenida de Volcanes. Was I at the right place? "Are you a travel agency and not Ecuador Tren?" I asked. No, she was with Ecuador Tren; asked her to give me some time while I think it out. I came out of the office.
