Bus Schedule for San Jose, serviced by Tuan.  Traffic to San Jose is currently very congested (10/2021) due to road construction and at times the weather. Travel times are problematic. Plan accordingly.
Sarchi currently has no bus stations, but virtually all buses stop in front of the soccer field downtown (at or across from the Banco Nacional branch) and/or on one of the corners on the main drag (near Banco Costa Rica or on the corner near the shoe store) adjacent to Sarchi's central park with the colorful, giant Carreta (ox cart). 

Red Taxis (Grecia) - The main paradas or stops for red taxis are at the northwest corner of the central Grecia park; the west exit of the new San Jose/Alajuela bus station; the south side of the old bus station (MusManni). Their central dispatch numbers are 2494-0202 or 2494-0220 for Grecia.
Red Taxis (Sarchi) - The main stop for red taxis is along the northwest street adjacent to Sarchi's central park across the one-way street from pizza kitchen. Their central dispatch number is: 2454-4028.
"Pirate" Cabs - While we aren't recommending the independent taxis in Costa Rica, they are everywhere and many folks use them. There are no longer regular 'taxi stands' due to disputes with the companies and the government over tax responsibilities, however there are still a few locations around Grecia where you will find them, including the street outside of PeriMercado heading north (towards Sarchi), and on the same street only 2 blocks south (1/2 block south of the Central Market). Note: they don't use meters (or "Marias" as they are called here) but they do have a set price list and are often, but not always, less expensive than red taxis.
