Taxi between Sosua/Puerto Plata and Sosua/Cabarete

[bingoman]

I am planning to go for daytrips from the base in Sosua and one of them might involve lugging the large suitcase.

Please can you tell me latest taxi rates to these two ? I understand I can take the shared one from near the Texaco but not sure how much I should pay.

Thanks !

The shared ones across from Texaco are called Publicos, or a carrito. Daytime Sosua to Puerto Plata is 100 pesos, after 7pm is 125.....Sosua to Cabarete I believe is the same.

Pay double for the front seat on your own, otherwise in the front you will have someone on your lap or be one of four if sitting the back.

If it is a decent enough chick on my lap, I won't object ! I suppose it will be too late to pay double by the time they get in

Got a chica that works late some nights in P.P. pays a publico 500 p. to bring her to my door in Su.They are not suppose to, but!!! Publico's run point A to B and drop you off, that's it! 100 p. can get you to P.P. or Cabarte.

Just as an update, the Sosua taxi guys charged $35 for dropping me off in Puerto Plata. However, the Puerto Plata taxi guy charged me 2800 pesos for a two way trip. Thankfully I didn't take a publico, otherwise I might have been caught out in the rain

That's a fair price, hope you kept his number!

First thing I did was to save his number. He is not a great driver though and his car is old. But did not even ask for propina

Ive done similar. Paid 100 to POP then when everyone got off I offered about 200-300 to go specifically where I wanted

YES! no need to pay the taxi mafia stupid prices!!!! I think every one should try public transport at least once, just for the fun of it,JAJAJAJA. The gua gua buses are an adventure.

Planning to do this if the weather is ok this week. Getting stuck in one of those vans in the middle of heavy rain is not something I want to do. Unless a pretty chick is sitting next to me

If you want to check the weather forecast use "Weartherunderground" Sosua. The weather station is at PP airport. Pro tip, if the forecast for rain is less than 50%, it may not rain on you at all, or if it does, just passing showers.
