Bus Travel In The Dominican Republic.

Buses, taxis, "carros públicos" and guaguas (mini-buses) are the most popular modes of transportation in the D.R., with some being more comfortable than others. Taxis are the most expensive, but they're more comfortable than a Carro Público or guagua because you're and/or your friends are the only ones in it. I prefer the carros públicos because they're very cheap, but you have to tolerate being packed in tight with a lot of other people like sardines. From Sosua to Puerto Plata city in a carro público, the price is only 40 pesos RD. If you're travelling long distance within the D.R. the best way to go is either Metrobus or Caribetours. I have used both and like them both equally. In the three videos below I am in a Metrobus going from Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo.
