There is no direct bus service from PUJ to the city. Buses leave from Bavaro Center, they have a stop a mile away from Bavaro Plaza. Make sure you will arrive early to the station, direct bus "BAVARO EXPRESS" operates twice, like at 7 AM and 3 or 4 PM. Ticket is about 200 Pesos. You should take a taxi from the airport to the bus station. If you will miss express you should travel vua Higuey, take a bus Bavaro - Higuey, 1 hour and you will be able to get a direct bus from Higuey to SD, last bus from Higuey leaves like a t 5 or 6 PM.

if you will arrive late and will miss a bus to Higuey taxi drivers will ask you to pay zillion dollars to get you to SD, in this case you better stay at a cheap hotel in PUJ, like Cortesito Inn or whatever that level and travel next day.

If you need stay overnight in P.C. I might be able to help you with sleeping quarters and assist you with bus travel arrangements of your choice to Santo Domingo. Just click on the PM or Email buttons in the bottom of the post if you want more info. Regards, PJT

Dear Robert.

I was impressed today when I've seen this post, I didn't post it, somebody enters with that nick to post it, anyway, I don't think you will believe me, but it was not me. I am not that mad to talk to myself.
