These air-conditioned minibuses are much more comfortable than typical buses and have a network that covers most of the country. One of the main advantages of using a shuttle service is that they coordinate pickup from and drop-off to many popular hotels, meaning you can depart and arrive in comfort without needing to worry about connections.There are many companies that provide shuttle service between virtually all major cities and towns across the country, plus some destinations a little more off the beaten track. Shuttles depart frequently, with some routes offering shuttle service several times per day, but some destinations a little further afield may only have one or two scheduled departures.
