Oh Glory Day!!!

 The long awaited train between San Jose and Caratgo has FINALLY commenced! We now know this for sure because we actually took it!!!  Costing little over $1 (₡550), the train now gets you between these two provinces in just about 43 minutes. First train leaves Cartago at 5:30am and arrives in San Jose at the Estación del Atlántico at about 6:13am. The train then runs ever 30 minutes until 8:00am.
Since it's a commuter train, it only starts again at 4:00pm and runs ever 30 minutes until 7:30pm so don't count on using the train in between 8-4.

Getting to Brewha in these peak hours will be sooo much faster and easier now since these are the times when the bus from San Jose to Cartago can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours due to the INSANE rush hour traffic!

For any further questions about the train service or station locations, just ask us, or google it.. I mean come on... :)
