Travel in San Jose , Costa Rica?

Question

Will I be able to use to city bus system to get from my apartment to work assuming it is 5 miles away? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yeah, San Jose has a very extensive and cheap city bus system, although most of the routes seem to radiate to and from the downtown, except for a rather infrequent "periphery" bus, which can make it slow to get from one outlying neighborhood to another.

The taxis are cheap, though. This was before gas went up, but I recall paying $2 to get downtown from a suburb, and $1 to go across downtown.

Answer 2

oh most def. buses are a huge huge source of transportation here in this country from the citys to the jungle u will see buses all over the place. i live in playas del coco and have takin the bus into san jose and all around san jose and many other places so u have nothing to worry about with transportation

Answer 3

YES.

Using the bus system in Costa Rica is VERY inexpensive and it's everywhere!  And once you learn the route to your work and back to your apartment, believe me, it'll be a snap.
