Costa Rica’s Cheap Public Transportation is a Solution to the Energy Crisis in the U.S.
Posted July 10th, 2008 by Christopher HowardAlthough gasoline prices has risen here as in the rest of the world public transportation is still affordable. A trip by bus to furthest destination in the country is around $10 dollars. A trip from San José to the suburbs is less than a dollar. An hour ride to some of the outlying towns in the Central Valley like Grecia is less than $2 dollars.
With such low prices you don’t really need the expenses of owning a an automobile here. There are buses going to almost every city and town in the country. The government has to provide this service and keep it affordable for the vast majority of the Costa Rican people who can’t afford cars.
Indeed this is another benefit of living in Costa Rica.
