I have a friend landing in PC around 3pm on a Tuesday. Is Metro or Caribe closer to the airport? What's the best bus co. to get to Playa Dorada? Thanks
I am almost positive that there is no Metro or Caribe Tour.
There is a bus service called Sitrabapo that you have to get in Friusa ( Bavaro, about 10 minutes from PC airport) that Will take you to Higuey. From there you can get the Caribe Tour or the Metro. The whole trip from Punta Cana to Playa dorada will take about 7/8 hours
First step, taxi from the airport to Friusa. Second step, Expreso Bavaro from Friusa to SD. Third step from SD to POP Metro or Caribe. In the absence of Expreso Bavaro (it runs only 3 or 4 times a day) from same Friusa Expreso Sitrabapu to Higuey (Basilica) and from there APTPRA to SD.
i would think the chances of clearing the immigration, retrieving the luggage and then catching that bus within 1 hour are low?
We have only come through PC once, but that was an incredible wait, first in immigration (despite the fact that none of us were tourists), then collecting the luggage. It took almost 40 minutes after the immigration to see the first suitcase from our flight. I now hate that airport, we are always very fast clearing in POP.
Im wonding where this man is flying in from that it was worth such a long bus Ride ? as the POP prices have dropped and are in fact exactly equal to SDQ, and STI from the NYC area, just as an example.. and this is for the rest of July and even August..
Just came back a few days ago via PUJ @ 3pm, Resident's line, was through immigration in 5 minutes. With just carry on, I was out the airport's door no more than 15 minutes after I stepped off the plane in PUJ.
