I started this new topic since there are interested parties. There are public taxis everywhere and in many cases are more than 50% cheaper than the tourist taxis. In Sosua and Caberete they can come to your hotel to pick you up. I was told by a tourist taxi driver that he would chase them away if he saw them and I replied that I would have him arrested for robbery. He said he was only kidding but he knew that it really is robbery. Many laugh at me because I take a moto to the main road from POP airport to save $12. Why pay $20 when I can pay $8 - $10. I go 6 times a year and that adds up.
