I am trying to get information on the purple bus service from Sosua to Samana. I did search in the previous post, but just want to make sure that the information is still accurate.
I need the schedules to and from and also the cost if anyone out there has made this trip recently.

The bus passes through Sosua about 7 am. Wait along the highway and flag it down. Runs 7 days a week. Bus is maroon and has a big Puerto Plata-Samana sign on the front. Gets to Samana about 10:15 am.

Haven't taken the bus lately, though I know it is still running. I imagaine the price is about RD$100.

So, assuming the bus route originates in central Puerto Plata, I should be able to catch it on the highway in the Playa Dorada area at about 6:30?

Yes, based on the fact it always gets as far as the Playero supermarket in Sosua sometime between 7-7:10 am. If you are out there by 6:30, you should be able to flag it down.

Go to the transport station across from the Texaco station in Sosua. It will stop there for sure. Be there at 7 AM and you will not miss it.

Sky, he said he is in Playa Dorada. He can catch the bus outside the entrance to Playa Dorada, but he needs to be there about 6:30 to be safe. Probably a bit too early, but getting there too late won't do him much good.
