That sounds good to me. I was going to suggest something like that with the NY, NJ guys.

Don't know what this has to do with public taxis, but it sounds fun.

3. The Dominican that can afford a private taxi from Santiago to PP will also most likely have their own car so they can drive. Most Dominicans will take a guagua. (Note 60 pesos for the same ride!)

As for Diesels I doubt his friend is picking him up in a Diahtsu Delta truck. Mitsubishi makes one deisel version of the Montero, Toyota (1 ver. Land Cruiser), Honda NONE, the other most likely cars that are deisel are probably MBs & VWs. I am quite sure most everything capable of hauling more then 2 tons is deisel but again those trucks aren't hanging out at STI looking for passengers. Finally I am quite sure those corollas, camry, civics, etc with the taxi signs on the roof are not deisel.

Nothing like digging up an old thread...

I arrive in STI from EWR on 10/7 for my first trip, and have a car booked at the airport. After hashing this out with a few of the brethren in another thread, I believe they have convinced me to cancel my rental. I need to get to my condo in Costambar (four blocks away from BB), and will be traveling with one (1) 24" carry-on bag.

If I read the board correctly, I have 2 options to get to Puerto Plata/Costambar: 1) the Caribe bus or 2) private taxi. Are there quaguas running near STI airport that make the run to Puerto Plata for a possible 3rd option?

I have a few other related questions...please help me out...I will be much obliged:

1. If I decide to take the Caribe bus from downtown Santiago to POP, what's a fair price to pay for a private cab from the aeropuerto to the bus station?

2. Are there publicos running between the STI airport and the Caribe bus station?

3. Is the 24" carry-on bag, too big for travel in a crowded guagua...or will it get tossed up on a roof rack and be hopelessly "lost" en-route.

4. Same question as #3, but applicable to a Caribe bus.

5. Once in POP, what are reasonable private/publico taxi fares between Pto Plata (e.g. Caribe Bus station & Central Park) and the gate at Costambar?

6. From the maps, Old City appears to be about 2-3 km from Costambar...an easy walk down Hwy #5. I also noticed another route ... an unimproved road or trail that wends it way around the harbor from the beach at Costambar to just outside Old City. If this is the case, I will be taking frequent walks (during the daytime, of course) between my condo and Pto Plata. Your feedback/sanity check is requested on this one.

Muchas gracias, amigos!

the fare from STI to the Caribe Tours depot has always cost me 500 pesos

and a 24 inch bag should be no problemany where...it'll go in the trunk of a car or with you in a minivan

not really sure about the rest of your questions...sorry

lets see first time in country. if you dont speak spanish get the waiting taxi. if you speak decent spanish and feel like using public transportation try the metro line form STI to POP. Its 70 pesos and only takes like an hr. Nice air conditioned buses and you can bring your bag on if you put it on your lap.

From POP guaguas and publicos are cheap and easy to come by for the rest of the trip. this will be the most expensive portion of the ride (STI to metro line shouldnt be more than 300 pesos). I dont quite know the average cost from POP to your final destination.

**Kevy** · 07-24-2006, 07:06 PM

Actually the Caribe tour bus will Pass Costamber on teh way to POP. The Bus takes the hiughway which runs around west of POP. You might want to ask if they will stop around there and then it is noyt very far to your condo. Not sure as I have never asked about that. The bus from santiago to POP is around 80 pesos. i took it January, but to Sosua.

Watch out for those guaguas. They pack them in there like sardines. You might get lucky and have a cute chica sit on your lap but, lord help you if Mama Cass gets on.
Later, SB
