Is there a bus station in or around San Jose International Airport (SJO)?

Question

Where is it and how close is it to the airport? I want to go direclty to Manuel Antonio. Should I but the ticket in advance to secure a seat? Can tickets be purchased online ahead of time? Thanks!!!

PS: Any info about the train station would be VERY helpful (what it's like, how it operates, etc).

Answer 1

The name of the airport (SJO) is aeropuerto JuanSantaMaria.  The buses stop there, though there is about half-a-block walk to get to them, so consider that IF you are loaded with luggage.  I think most of the buses are for local routes within Alajuela and some "red" buses that go to San Jose.  Taking a bus to San Jose will save you a ton of money compared to a taxi.  That part of the trip is the longest.  Once you are in San Jose, then you can take a taxi to take you to "la terminal de autobuses que van para Manuel Antonio."  If you can buy tickets in advance, do so, but  I don't think you can buy them online.  And I don't know anything about a train going there.  I'm pretty sure there isn't one.

Answer 2

there is one right outside the airport for buses going into alajuela or san jose
