The amazing part of this, is that the maroon bus doesn't come back this way.Ken said:No, that bus route was terminated by Caribe Tours a month or two ago.
There is a "public" bus that starts in Puerto Plata and passes through Sosua about 7 am. Wait along side the road and flag it down. It is maroon in color and has a Puerto Plata-Samana sign on the front.

It must be on some big loop that takes them down South and comes back the following day.
I'm relying on what people have told me who took it out there but said there was no return. If you know differently, please let us know, as it really is inconvenient now that we don't have the Caribe Tour bus going out there. anymore.Ken said:Since when, Rocky. I haven't taken the bus for a few months, but always before it returned the same day, leaving Samana at 2 pm and getting me back to Sosua about 5:30 pm. Since the bus originates in Puerto Plata, it is hard to believe it has changed its route that much.

That's the Caribe Tour bus that's been cancelled.CyaBye3015 said:I took the "purple bus" back from Sanchez at about 2:30 pm around two months ago, so i suspect it leaves Samana around 2:00 pm. Frankly I wouldn't recommend it, it was the longest 4 hours of my life.

In fact, I think they cancelled it the day after you used it.
What the heck did you do to that bus, Joe?
