You should feel safe with Ticos waiting at a bus stop. There's no question that they would all run to your aid if you're getting a beat down. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I got to see first hand how the tico's would come to your aid if needed ....'won't happen" but my point is when I see the local's still waiting for the bus ...I feel the bad guys won't make a move then....but I am sure,one ofthem on drugs has done it before. That area that Hiker Tom is pointing out is where a few gringo's got hit from someone hiding in the alley's ....that is why I pointed out if you must walk that area at night stay in the middle of that street , walk fast and keep your head up and look for any bullishit ....

That's only $2 right? Sounds like a bargain compared to dealing with aggressive people and possible violence. After all........I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Si dos dollares :) By all means be safe but also will say I've made that walk hundreds of times and probably only taken a cab that block and 1/2 four or five times. Either was past 2 AM or because it was raining and chicas don't like to get their hair wet.

I'd be more afraid of the cars than the criminals in that case. :P
