Cabarete to Sousa

Hello Broward. May I ask what you mean by "commuting"? Taking the local gua gua, a van that is packed but very inexpensive, could be uncomfortable on a daily basis but is doable. Taxi would get expensive. Motoconcho dangerous.

Others can provide better info on time (20-30 min.?) and prices.

Regards, Ringo

Broward,
It's about 15 minutes if you were to drive or go direct by taxi.
No big buses making the trip right now.

Add about 5 minutes if you go by carro publico or guagua. Pretty convenient and economical. Cost is no more than a couple of dollars each way. You can flag them down anywhere along the road & have them drop you off anywhere along their route.

A public car is usually something similar to a Toyota Camry with maybe max 8 passengers crammed in. They stop for new passengers to be picked up/dropped off anywhere along the route.

A guagua is more like a van, with maybe 15-20 people crammed in. Again stopping to let on/let off passengers along the main road.

It's 10 km or 6.3 miles between the two.
Normally it's a 10 minute drive or less in my own car, and as mentioned above, add on 5 or 10 minutes if taking the public car or guagua. (Approx. $1 US)
There is some road construction going on at this time, which could add on yet another 5 minutes.
