http://www.shuttlebus.co.cr/ (same service which allows you to pay through PayPal and does not compel you to fax a credit card number to InterBus; the service DOES use InterBus for the transportation aspect)

Interbus remains the same at http://www.interbusonline.com/ but has a new look and "feel". From my experience, it's on the fritz a lot, although the service has not missed yet.

I use http://www.shuttlebus.co.cr/ because of its ease; the fact one can pay via PayPal and the fact it's a small, one person operation. The owner was the primary programmer for InterBus; has friendly and familial relations with InterBus, but moved to the USA and set up his own business. The airport transfers are always less costly as are the other trips you can book. Not nearly the same discount it started out with....but a dime is a dime is a dime.

yes, but after hanging with you, I have to ask... do you remember anything useful about using them???

bustin' chops amigo...

TOUCHE! However, http://www.shuttlebus.co.cr/ has done nothing but right by me and I recall ALL my drivers at the airport and all my drivers picking me up at the hotels. They're ALWAYS there (it's InterBus anyway), although once I did have to exit the airport and look for the guy holding the sign with my name on it....ALL the other times they were right there pushing the name sign into the glass and they've always been EARLY in picking me up. On March 4, they were 30 mins early (0400 instead of 0450 [or 0430 to others]) and allowed me to make some toast and tea at Amistad.....and access the fruit in the fridge at Amistad and then board the shuttle. Top Notch.

Now...as for that dating thing you got going at Pantera, we MAYBE want to share names and numbers because I sure as shiit don't want to be climbing back into that knowing you've been in it either before OR after me!!!!!
