In-Depth Information
Bus schedules fluctuate wildly, so always confirm the time when you buy your ticket. If
you are catching a bus that picks you up somewhere along a road, get to the roadside
early.
For information on departures from San José, pay a visit to the Instituto Costarricense de
Turismo office to pick up the reasonably up-to-date copy of the master schedule, which is
also available online at www.visitcostarica.com .
Shuttle Buses
The tourist-van shuttle services (aka gringo buses) are an alternative to the standard inter-
city buses. Shuttles are provided by Grayline ( 2220-2126; www.graylinecostarica.com ) and
Interbus ( 2283-5573; www.interbusonline.com ) . Both companies run overland transporta-
tion from San José to the most popular destinations, as well as directly between other des-
tinations (see the websites for the comprehensive list). These services will pick you up at
your hotel, and reservations can be made online, or through local travel agencies and hotel
owners.
