For travelers on a budget, there is hourly
bus service between San Jose and Cabo
San Lucas via the Flecha Verde and
Estrella de Oro bus lines. Brand new service
via Subur Cabo (using deluxe blue
and orange painted buses) is a welcome
addition at a mere $15 pesos (about $1.60
US) between both towns. Buses depart
from each city's main bus terminal, and
the trip takes about 35 minutes. There is
also hotel shuttle service between the
Corridor and Cabo San Lucas by hotel
chains with sister hotels in each region.
If you plan to travel frequently between
the two towns, renting a car is recommended.
The highway connecting San Jose
and Cabo San Lucas has been widened to
four lanes. This has improved road safety
and shortened travel time through the corridor
region.
Note: Bikes, ATV's, and mopeds can also be
rented
by the day or hour, in either San Jose or
Cabo San Lucas. |
