Every neighborhood in Duitama is assigned to one of five pricing sectors. The sector determines the base fare for a trip. All sector data comes from barrios.json (general table) and barrios_terminal.json (Terminal table).

​
The five sectors

Primer sector

The most central neighborhoods. Lowest base fare.

Segundo sector

Mid-range neighborhoods slightly further from the center.

Tarifa especial

A special-rate tier between segundo and tercer sector.

Tercer sector

Outlying neighborhoods further from the city center.

Cuarto sector

The most distant neighborhoods. Highest base fare.

​
Highest-sector rule

When a trip uses the general table (Priority 3), the API compares the sector of the origin neighborhood against the sector of the destination neighborhood, and applies the fare for whichever sector is higher. The priority order from lowest to highest is defined by ORDEN_SECTORES in tarifas.json: 
[
  "primer_sector",
  "segundo_sector",
  "tarifa_especial",
  "tercer_sector",
  "cuarto_sector"
]
The highest sector between origin and destination always wins. A trip from primer_sector to tercer_sector is charged at the tercer_sector rate.

​
Terminal de Transporte table

Some neighborhoods have a different sector when the trip involves the Terminal de Transporte or Carrera 42. These neighborhoods are listed separately in barrios_terminal.json. When either the origin or destination is recognized as the Terminal, the API looks up the other neighborhood in barrios_terminal.json instead of the general table. Example: Sauna La Frontera is classified as tercer_sector in the general table, but as cuarto_sector in the Terminal table. A trip between Sauna La Frontera and the Terminal is therefore charged at the cuarto_sector rate (12,600day/12,600 day / 13,100 night), not the tercer_sector rate.
If a neighborhood is not explicitly listed in barrios_terminal.json, the API falls back to the general table and logs a warning. This may produce an incorrect fare — contact the data maintainer to add the neighborhood.
