Getting Around San Jose

Costa Rica has an excellent public transportation system, and San Jose's public buses can take you anywhere in the city for a tiny price. If you arm yourself with basic bus-riding knowledge, shed your worries and prepare for adventure, San Jose's buses will soon become your best friends. Taxis are another inexpensive and convenient way to travel. You can hail a cab 24 hours a day, and for most trips, a taxi will be quicker than the bus. As of late-2008, taxi fares begin at ¢420 (approximately $0.77), going up depending on distance and traffic congestion.
