This is why the easiest way to transported in Costa Rica is by making use of bus services that travel across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Bus services as well as being cheap, are quite good. Costa Rica has a direct bus service that rarely stops until reaching their destinations, which cost a bit more. In the other hand, there are regular buses which stop at various points along the route. Similarly, there are private buses and minibuses, in which all passengers must be seated, which make the journey more pleasant and enjoyable and is why they coasts a little more.<\/p>\n<p>The fares of the buses are usually displayed in the bus windshield or window or in the interior over the head of the driver. This is because bus fares in Costa Rica are subject to frequent changes, as these are updated with recent increases approved by the ARESEP, which are published in \u201cLa Gaceta\u201d. To learn about the current buses fares visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aresep.go.cr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.aresep.go.cr<\/a> and click on Current Rates, Transport and Buses and find the route number you need. As the rates of the buses in Costa Rica are changing frequently, it is best to ask someone in the line or call ahead to find out the price with precision. In fact it is best to reserve tickets in advance, because if you arrive at the terminal a few minutes before, it is very unlikely to find space and you must have to wait for the next bus, or staying in a hotel until the next exit in the morning, especially when buses are traveling long distances outside the Central Valley or on weekends and holidays. For example, in the Holy Week dates such as Thursday and Friday (March-April) can be reduced the bus services on certain routes. The same happens during the week of Christmas and New Year, and also for this dates some bus companies provide no service at all.<\/p>\n<p>Most buses depart from &#8220;La Coca Cola&#8221; (former bottling plant) between 1st and 3rd Avenue, 16th St., in San Jos\u00e9 center, but many others have their &#8220;stops&#8221; or terminals scattered throughout the city. Similarly, most buses operate until 10 pm, after that, you have the option of a taxi. The taxi fares are through the &#8220;Mar\u00eda&#8221; <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3984\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/bus-services-in-costa-rica\/buses-san-jose-guapiles-costa-rica\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/buses-san-jose-guapiles-costa-rica.jpg?fit=250%2C188&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"250,188\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bus Services from Guapiles, Costa Rica\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/buses-san-jose-guapiles-costa-rica.jpg?fit=250%2C188&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3984\" title=\"Bus Services from Guapiles, Costa Rica\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/buses-san-jose-guapiles-costa-rica.jpg?resize=250%2C188&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/buses-san-jose-guapiles-costa-rica.jpg?w=250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/buses-san-jose-guapiles-costa-rica.jpg?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>or the taximeter, which starts at around 450 colones ($0.86) for the first mile and then 380 colones ($0.77) per kilometer within the additional Metropolitan Area.<\/p>\n<p>Few drivers and ticket sellers speak another language than Spanish, so it&#8217;s important to get information in advance about where to find your bus departure and arrival times.

But to get the most out of your experience in Costa Rica, you will have to travel through its highways, roads and rocky, mountainous trails over the country. This is why the easiest way to transported in Costa Rica is by making use of bus services that travel across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Bus services as well as being cheap, are quite good. Costa Rica has a direct bus service that rarely stops until reaching their destinations, which cost a bit more. In the other hand, there are regular buses which stop at various points along the route. Similarly, there are private buses and minibuses, in which all passengers must be seated, which make the journey more pleasant and enjoyable, and is why they coasts a little more.<\/p>\n<p>The fares of the buses are usually displayed in the bus windshield or window or in the interior over the head of the driver. This is because bus fares in Costa Rica are subject to frequent changes, as these are updated with recent increases approved by the ARESEP, which are published in \u201cLa Gaceta\u201d. To learn about the current buses fares visit www.aresep.go.cr and click on Current Rates, Transport and Buses and find the route number you need. As the rates of the buses in Costa Rica are changing frequently, it is best to ask someone in the line or call ahead to find out the price with precision. In fact it is best to reserve tickets in advance, because if you arrive at the terminal a few minutes before, it is very unlikely to find space and you must have to wait for the next bus, or staying in a hotel until the next exit in the morning, especially when buses are traveling long distances outside the Central Valley or on weekends and holidays. For example, in the Holy Week dates such as Thursday and Friday (March-April) can be reduced the bus services on certain routes. The same happens during the week of Christmas and New Year, and also for this dates some bus companies provide no service at all.<\/p>\n<p>Most buses depart from &#8220;La Coca Cola&#8221; (former bottling plant) between 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Avenue, 16<sup>th<\/sup> St., in San Jos\u00e9 center, but many others have their &#8220;stops&#8221; or terminals scattered throughout the city. Similarly, most buses operate until 10 pm, after that, you have the option of a taxi. The taxi fares are through the &#8220;Mar\u00eda&#8221; or the taximeter, which starts at around 450 colones ($0.86) for the first mile and then 380 colones ($0.77) per kilometer within the additional Metropolitan Area.<\/p>\n<p>Few drivers and ticket sellers speak another language than Spanish, so it&#8217;s important to get information in advance about where to find your bus departure and arrival times. When you&#8217;re ready to get off the bus, you must click one of the red buttons that are on the sides, pull the string or just yell &#8220;Parada, por favor!&#8221; (Stop, please!) and walk out at least a 100 meters (300 feet) before dropping.<\/p>\n<p>The following directory is a complete, detailed and updated list of the bus services, with their respective timetables, routes and fares, where the symbol in the middle of BT means &#8220;Back Trip&#8221;.<br \/>\nBuses in the Central Valley:<\/p>\n<p>San <a name=\"OLE_LINK5\"><\/a><a name=\"OLE_LINK4\"><\/a>\u2013 Heredia<br \/>\nRapiditos Heredianos, 7<sup>th<\/sup> and 9<sup>th<\/sup> Avenue, 1<sup>st<\/sup> St., San <a name=\"OLE_LINK3\"><\/a><a name=\"OLE_LINK2\"><\/a>.
