Urban transport constitutes an economic activity of vital importance for the development and growth of towns, therefore, it is important to know how traffic congestion and the chaos that it generates have an economic impact on the different transport service operators. The objective of this study is to determine the cost assumed by the carrier due to excessive fuel consumption due to traffic congestion. For this purpose, a structured survey is applied, at a response rate, to 99 urban bus drivers from the city of Ambato, inquiring about the degree of economic affectation due to vehicular congestion, later a mathematical model is applied to calculate the excess time or congestion delay and the cost of fuel consumption caused by the same externality. The most relevant results show that the carriers feel an economic affectation, reflecting in monetary terms significant daily values of loss due to excessive fuel consumption of $1.42 per hour, as well as a delay in the route time that on average is 30 minutes per day for each bus
