Bus Schedule, Routes and Fares | ||
The
Dominican Republic has excellent bus services between cities and is
the most economical way to travel within the country. For
roughly a one hundred pesos ($3.00 US) you can get from one city to
the next. I have personally utilized the bus service to travel
from Sosua to Santiago and Santiago to Santo Domingo and
prefer this mode of transportation because it's a great way to see
the sites along the way without having the distractions of being
behind the wheel of a rental car, not to mention it's a relaxing
comfortable ride that allows you to catch up on your sleep if you
stayed out to late in the discos or clubs the night before.
There are several bus companies operating in the Dominican Republic,
but I recommend using
Caribe
Tours. Caribe Tours offers modern style equipment much
like you would find with Greyhound in the USA. Additionally,
you will find a Caribe Tours Bus terminal in almost every city in
the Dominican Republic, currently providing services to over 35
cities. Almost every local resident or taxi driver will know
where the nearest Caribe Tours bus terminal is, even if you speak
little to no Spanish you will not find it difficult to purchase a
ticket at the terminal or station. To make the best use of
your time and avoid longer waiting times at the terminal you can
view the bus schedule with departure times online at
http://www.caribetours.com.do. However, it might be
helpful if you can read Spanish to view this website. Metro
Tours and Terra Bus also provide bus service between selected cities
in the Dominican Republic. |
