Many tourists rent a car when they come to Costa Rica. Not Us!
we saved a ton of money traveling costa rica without a car by taking the local buses. It wasn't SUPER easy, but we made it work, and I would recommend it!

Is a little tricky but no impossible, I see a lot of negative videos about the Public Transportation in Costa Rica, but you guys doing that like part of the Costa Rica Experience no matter it was 3 buses 1 boat or even horse back. I really like the positive energy. 🇨🇷👍🆒

@AdamVenturesTravel 2 года назад

thank you! Ya, its really not to bad! I would do it again! thanks for the kind words!

@mattyc169 3 года назад

By bus, it's possible to go from the Alajuela airport to to downtown San Jose then any town in C.R. for under $20. It costs that much just to breath the air in a car rental shop.

Ah nice I remember I went from Sámara to san José and I thought was at the tracopa bus station in san José but it turned out it was the warehouse and wasted one hour of walking. On top of that I had to take the bus later and arrived at my hostel to late so I had to sleep outside! Great adventure that was!

@AdamVenturesTravel Год назад

Sounds like a great adventure

@quannguyen89 3 года назад

I'll go on a solo trip to CR next month. definitely will take buses from town to town. I'm nervous and excited at the same time

@mattyc169 3 года назад

You can take a bus out in front of the airport into the city for about 1-2 dollars vs. a $40 taxi ride. Also do your research because in San Jose there are multiple bus stations that all go to separate parts of the country. It can be a little confusing.

@phoenixgate789 3 года назад

no way me too! solo traveler as well itll be cool if we run into each other somehow haha. was thinking of renting a car but i heard the drivers can be a bit aggressive so bus may be the safest

@AdamVenturesTravel 3 года назад

@rodvarmo 3 года назад

There are direct buses to almost any place in Costa Rica from San Jose. The harder thing is when you travel between small towns like you did

hey adam are there bus routes to go wherever you want to once you get off at the san jose airport? or if anyone knows? Im planning on staying one night in san jose and then next day going to monteverde. trying to save as much and dont want to spend on taxis or shuttles. thank you!

there are 2 main bus stations in San Jose, but they are not at the airport. Using Rome2Rio will tell you which bus station to depart from to where you want to go!
