It only costs 375 Pesos which are about 7,50 EUR for one ride - incredibly cheap considering a 4-hour air-conditioned ride. The busses are all cleaned and comfortable and most importantly ON TIME.

Thank you... I found it very useful!
ReplyDeleteI am going from santo domingo to punta cana dreams resort. Which stop i have to stay on and can i catch a cab there. And how much
ReplyDeleteHi Darla,
DeleteI don't know each resort but the bus driver will! You just ask him and he will tell you where to get off and mostly it's directly at the entrance of the hotel. Other than that, there are cabs outside everywhere but be aware. Cabs are expensive in Punta Cana because they know, only tourists will take cabs. That's why they also take USD. I once payed about 10 USD for a 5 min ride from the hotel to another bus station because out luggage had a loose wheel. That would be fine for me in Europe but it's NOT normal for the Dominican Republic - I mean just look at the bus ride - about 10 USD for a 4h ride from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo and the same price for 5 min within Bavaro?! Avoid cabs, if you can...
Hope I could help you with that.

Thanks chinita, I will be on a medical mission in San Pedro de Macoris. And want to go from there. Where exactly is the buss at?
ReplyDeleteI would suggest asking a local or calling one of the above telephone numbers. I can't tell you where the exact bus stop is because there are no bus signs anywhere. The only stations that are absolutely clearly located are La Gomez and México en la Duarte. That's where we enter the bus from Santo Domingo. I just see people going on and off the bus...
DeleteGood luck!
