    Everything about this was awful. From the unmarked bus stop away from the bus terminal in David, to the fact that they don’t actually stop in Quepos as it says on the ticket, to the fact that they didn’t stop at all. Had I not been paying attention, and told them to stop after they missed town, I’d probably have ended up in San Jose. They dumped me on the side of the highway in a sketchy spot in the middle of the night. They claimed they needed a safe place to stop before they could pull over — meaning safe for the bus, not the buyer. Ticket also cost more than the other options, and support completely blew me off.
