Bus from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo

I know this has been covered probably 100 times but I have to get a plane from Jfk to PUJ because all the other airports are overbooked for xmas holidays. I will be arriving in Punta Cana at 4:30 pm. Is there a Metro bus or something similar leaving from Punta Cana to the capital at 5 or 6 pm, or will I have to spend the night in Punta Cana?

Sorry, the last Expreso leaves Punta Cana at 4pm. Your best shot is to either pay a taxi or catch a bus to Higuey in front of the airport and transfer in La Romana to Santo Domingo. If it were me, I would try to stay overnight and leave on one of the early expresos.
