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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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.

MAJOR WARNING!

"Pirate Taxis"
Porteadores plan to snarl traffic throughout country tomorrow-Thursday - April 4, 2013

InsideCostaRica.com/2013/04/03/porteadores-plan-to-snarl-traffic-throughout-country-tomorrow

Commuters and travelers, be advised.  The president of the Costa Rican Chamber of Porteadores, which represents the country’s unofficial private taxis, said that the Porteadores plan to obstruct traffic in 76 different locations throughout the entire country tomorrow.

The protest comes after a year and a half of disagreements between the Porteadores  and the government surrounding Law 8955 which contains regulations for the industry.

Chamber president, German Wolf, said the government is responsible for tomorrow’s action, saying that his Chamber has been asking authorities to resolve their grievances for a year and a half.   The Porteadores are also upset about delays in the issuance of 4,000 operating permits.

The Chamber said the only possibility of dialogue to resolve the conflict would be a direct conversation with the Minister of Public Works and Transport, Pedro Castro, who they claim has abandoned his post in the hands of an assistant.
