'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: There are two methods, that I know of, of getting around from place to place in Santo Domingo:

There are the Publicos, which are public cars, drivers will drive and honk constantly, when they are looking for passengers. . . until they get one. They are cheap and will usually get you where you wanted to go.

And the Guaguas (sounds like wawas).. which is the Caribbean spanish word for "Bus"... wherein another spanish-speaking countries, "camion" or "autobus" is more common.

You can find any of these anywhere you are and functioning well as long as there's gas in the country for transportation.

vegannramember Thu Jan 25, 2007 18:40 UTC haha, yes! leaving a club with a dominican friend at around 4 am, i discovered that red lights mean "maybe slow down a little as you plow through the intersection".	TropicGirl77 Wed Aug 10, 2005 18:14 UTC I just LOVE those "quarter to one" rules!!! HAHA@ suffering for the Lord ... I'm sure after repenting, he has forgiven all suffering! Aloha ~
BuickMackane Fri Feb 11, 2005 23:05 UTC I haven't been to the DR since I was a little girl, but I enjoyed your tips very much -- great page!	Aurorae Thu Feb 3, 2005 22:53 UTC Thank you for stopping by at my HP. I love your passion for Dominican Republic, it's a place that attracts me as well, I'd love to go there, and your descriptions awake the senses, presenting that country so well.
