A shared shuttle is a scheduled service that connects Costa Rica’s main tourist destinations. You share the vehicle with other travelers, which keeps costs lower. Pickups operate from designated zones in each town — typically near the central park or main bus terminal.

Shared shuttle vs. private transfer

Shared shuttles are more affordable but operate on fixed schedules and pick up multiple passengers. If you need flexibility, a private transfer may be a better fit. If you’re traveling solo or as a couple and your schedule is flexible, the shared shuttle is excellent value.
