What about the luggage with a taxi publico? Extra charge? Does it go in the trunk or on your lap?

The Metro bus always leaves on time.
For example, if the bus is scheduled to depart at 2pm, then it will depart at 2pm sharp!!!
Not only is it a cheap method of transportation, but you can meet up with girls in this bus.
I wholeheartedly agree. I took the bus back in August from Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo to apply for my residency, and it was a really nice way to go.
I believe at that time it was about US 8.00 or so to go. We stopped in Santiago and was able to get off of the bus, have a smoke, grab something to eat and drink, and was on our way. My recollection is that it took 3 1/2 hours from POP to SD. I was impressed with the condition of the bus, as well as its operation. As you said, if they say they're leaving at a certain time, the leave.
Metro Tours expands
The long-standing conflict between the private taxis/buses and the big bus companies Caribe Tours and Metro Tours has finally been resolved, to the advantage of the latter.
During the second meeting with representatives of the transport union and delegates from Caribe Tours and Metro Tours, the chairman (César José De los Santos, governor of the province) announced the final decision: 'It is in the best interests of tourism and the many residents of Sosúa, Cabarete and surrounding areas, that we have a good bus service in this popular tourist area, and good connections to the rest of the country. This is vital to the development of the north coast'.
The governor has therefore given Metro Tours permission to expand its current bus schedules, with a service from Puerto Plata to Sosúa and Cabarete.

A follow-up meeting will discuss the interests of the smaller bus and taxi companies, and how their interests can best be protected.
