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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

Seniors get to ride FREE on the Gulf of Nicoya FERRIES

Another example of how WELL Costa Rica treats it's SENIORS!!  Are you aware Seniors can get a bus pass in their area for FREE???


Seniors got a break Thursday when the nation's price regulating agency decided that those 65 and over should ride free on ferries in the Gulf of Nicoya.

That represents a saving of 810 colons or about $1.62 on the Puntarenas-Paquera route adult fare and a savings of 1,005 colons or about $2 on the Puntarenas-Naranjo route.

The free ride, which starts today, does not apply to any vehicles that the seniors may bring.

The Autoridad Reguladora de Servicios Públicos said it applied the same law that gives seniors a break on bus services.    The ferries are operated by Naviera Tambor S.A. y Coonatramar R.L. They are expected to keep track of the number of senior users to use in the calculations for a future rate hike.

Today also is the day when the Puntarenas-Paquera ferry schedule reverts to normal with the Tambor II going back into service.

The ferry has been undergoing maintenance.

The Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes said that the ferry from Puntarenas will run from 5 a.m. until 8:30 p.m.

The ferry from Paquera makes its first run at 5:30 a.m. and its last to Puntarenas at 8: p.m.
