What is the "Shuttle Transfer Overcharge" scam in La Fortuna?

Question

Accepted Answer

Shared shuttle services from San José to La Fortuna should cost $35-55 USD per person, but some operators in San José and at the La Fortuna end quote $80-120 per person for the same route, claiming "private" or "direct" service that is standard. Return shuttles are similarly inflated. Book shuttles through established companies (Interbus, Grayline, Gecko Trail) directly. Compare quotes for identical routes — any significant deviation from the $40-55 USD range should be questioned.
