I'm sure this question has been asked/answered on Ning before, but I'm still having difficulty viewing archives.Does anyone know of a shuttle that goes from David to El Valle or Coronado directly? and how do we get tickets?Thank you!

If you'd like to take a bus to El Valle Anton, first just catch the Panama City bus in David. Do not take the overnight express bus; take a standard bus, and I recommend leaving in the early morning. Tell the ticket counter you are going to Valle Anton, and you wont have to pay the full city price. I recall its about four or five hours from David on the bus. If you are nervous about missing your stop, check in with your bus driver when you stop for "lunch" in Santiago-- its a few hours past there. When the bus stops to let you off, you will see a small road leaving the Panamericana to the left. There is a bus stop and, I believe, a small sign that says "Valle Anton." From there you take a Collectivo (small bus) for a dollar or two up into El Valle. Nice area; I recommend the hot springs.
Jessica, if by "shuttles" you mean transportation designated specifically to run between two locations (like the Boquete-Bocas shuttle), there are none between David and Coronado or David and El Valle. You can, however, get to both destinations by bus. I would inquire at the bus station in David about which buses to take.
David to Coronado is Easy. It is the Terminales de David bus to Panama City. Just ask when you buy a ticket if they can stop in Coronado. Unless it is an express they will.

Oscar Peña will shuttle you anywhere in the country.

You might try the travel agency by the bridge to BCP.
Otherwise at the central terminal in David.
