Can anyone suggest the cheapest way for 5 people to get from St Jean to Ronscevalles on 26th March? Buses are not operating at that time.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, as far as I can see that is true. It is strange because they seem to run the bus only into France at that time.

There is bus service on Tuesdays and Fridays from Arneguy (technically not, the bus stop is maybe 100 m across the border in Spain). The stop is just a few hours walk from SJPdP on the camino. Trouble is the bus stops only in Valcarlos and Pamplona. The bus routes are regulated by the Navarre government so the bus companies don't step on each others toes and that makes logical travel difficult. If interested in this bus trip let me know and I'll post more.

In the meantime think Express Bouricot or taxis.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I guess that my question is where are you coming from before St Jean? Maybe there is better transportation from that place to Roncesvalles skipping St Jean.
