ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!

Commuter TRAINS in Costa Rica - Heredia • CARTAGO • Belen = San Jose


I think this schedule is easier to understand. It says it's the schedule Year-Round - BUT - I'm NOT finding an active website with current info from TRANSFECO who runs the trains.  So you guess is as good as mine!!
It's a Commuter Train so for now it will just bring commuters into San Jose and take them home during Peak Hours.
SCHEDULE:
Monday - Friday

Cartago - San Jose
5:30-8:40am
San Jose - Cartago
3:30-6:40pm
(though hopefully they'll be smart and add trains when there are some big events happening in San Jose - especially since they didn't make hardly any parking spaces when they built the stadium!!)

LENGTH OF RIDE
About 40 minutes each way
TICKET PRICE:
495-colones
(same price as the bus!  Around $1!!!)
(currently it's the same price even if you're getting off earlier like in Dos Rios or Curridabat)

FREE for Seniors!!
