U guys are willing to risk your laptop, iphone, camera, and the cash in you wallet/ pockets to save like $18 ? IMO, just not worth the risk, I even use the SAME taxi guy all the time, I will even wait half hour for him. I dont like strangers ,when im carrying all my shit. Now if u only have a carryon and travel very light, diff story,cause then you look like someone who is not carrying anything of much value, even though you could be. And what about the duty free liquor bottles you guys buy, wheres that gonna go, on the floor of some publico where anyone can Kick the bottles ?

What do you mean by risk? These local taxi guys are not out to rip you off. I saved $38 x 6 each year. Thats about $230 a year just on getting too and from the airport.

You're entitled to be a straight up bitch if you want to. A lot of nagging and complaining on this board about what other grown ass men choose to do as of lately. Wrote a whole damn paragraph about some simple ass shit. Jesus. Sorry Jimmy or mods if I crossed any lines just now.

Re: Anyway(s) to get from POP to Sosua other than taxi?
I just ask a friend/family to pick me up...
Actually I just tell them I'm coming and they magically appear at the airport.
It's good to have great friends!
When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
Your opinions are not my problem...

I'm booked on Flt. 979 (12:00 pm) out of Miami on 10/4/11. I already have a hotel taxi booked from POP to Sosua and would welcome a shared rider to split the $20 fee. Email me on this site if interested.

To or from the airport you may want to use your regular guy, but between POP and Sosua or Sosua to Caberete you can pay for 4 seats and have the entire back seat of the publico to yourself.

Re: Anyway(s) to get from POP to Sosua other than taxi?
Many hotels in Sosua, most that get much time on here, include airport pickup for a stay of a week or even less..so why are you being charged?
I guess El Colibre is charging for this?

God bless you guys. After landing, the last thing i could care about is a 20-25 taxi ride. GET me there already.
last trip i saw a bunch of guys walking to the main road to catch a publico. They were walking up the hill in 90degree humid weather. Dragging a large suitcase behind them. i drove by in my taxi laughing.
is a total of 40-50 roundtrip going to kill you?
If so, stay at Rick's and he will pick you up for free.
sorry, there is no way I am walking up to the main road, waiting for a publico, packing into it, maybe like sardines and stopping multiple times, just to save a couple dollars.

I arrived on May 5th (have since returned home) and noticed the exact, same thing. First thing I thought about was some of the recommendations I've read on some boards encouraging guys to take that walk and catch the publico to save a few dollars.
I get pissed if I have to walk up to the parking area for my ride.

Personally I wouldn't feel safe making the walk to the street for a publico with all my cash on me. I've never had a problem in the dr with being robbed or anything. But I just wouldn't want to take that risk.

I could see the sweat on your head as I drove by. But to make you feel better my last trip the was not that strong.LOL

I walk everywhere in Sosua. i never take a moto. But to walk up the hill, then wait, then get packed in and maybe take 1+ hours to get there, just for a couple dollars saved???
