This also had the effect of raising the standards for the competition. As of 2014, the company operates twentyregular bus lines (113, 116, 120, 121, 122R, 122V 123, 133N, 133V, 134, 135, 136, 137 and ''Ronda del Centro''), two intra-district lines (''Enlace Noroeste'' and ''Enlace Sur''), a special summer-season line to serve the northern coast and beaches of the city (''Línea de la Costa''), and a trolleybus line (''Line "K"''). SEMTUR's buses employ a light gray and orange horizontal colour pattern.
