OMSA resumes university bus routes in Santo Domingo and Santiago

The Metropolitan Bus Service Operator (OMSA) buses are back on regular routes to service students at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) public university. The bus service also is popular with students of the O&M and UniCaribe universities located in the Centro de los Heroes and nearby Malecon stretch.

In a press release, the transportation company says the five routes in Santo Domingo and one in Santiago will operate from 6pm to 11pm to get students to universities and back safely.

These six routes address the transportation needs of thousands of university students who require affordable and safe transportation for their nightly commutes.

The established routes are as follows:
• UASD-Boca Chica: Travels along the Malecón, takes Las Américas Avenue, and ends at Valiente.
• UASD-Pantoja: Travels along Tiradentes Avenue and John F. Kennedy Avenue.
• UASD-San Isidro: Takes José Contreras Avenue, Máximo Gómez Avenue, and John F. Kennedy Avenue to San Isidro.
• UASD-Los Alcarrizos: Travels along Dr. Bernardo Correa y Cidrón Avenue, descends Italia Avenue towards O&M, takes the Malecón, stops at Unicaribe, and takes Luperón Avenue to Los Alcarrizos.
• UASD-Nigua: Follows the same route as the Los Alcarrizos route but with a final destination in Nigua.
• Santiago: UASD-Cienfuegos: Departs from the UASD headquarters in Santiago, passes through Villa Olímpica, the Technological University of Santiago (UTESA), and the Pontifical Catholic University Mother and Teacher (PUCMM) to Cienfuegos.
All five Santo Domingo routes depart from the vicinity of the UASD cafeteria, benefiting students from O&M and Unicaribe.
