Tica Bus provides international service from capital to capital. This is why we can not make stops for food or rest. On occasion, the bus makes intermediate stops to pick up additional passengers in route to the final destination. The tourist class route Costa Rica – Panama – Costa Rica makes two stops close to meal times due to the duration of the trip.
The passenger has total freedom to stop and stay in each country for as long as desired. The passenger can continue the trip when desired as long as space is available and a reservation is made.
