From SD to Boca Chica via bus/colectivo?

[concarne]

Hello all!

I am wondering what the options to get to Boca Chica from Santo Domingo are? I would like to bypass the taxi mafia. I am fluent in spanish and can pass as a local.

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Bus from bus station near Park Enriqillo. Goes straight there

Boca Chica Express bus

The bus ride will take you directly to BC for only 50 RD Pesos. Some weeks ago it was only 40. To come back you will have to pay the same amount and the express bus will take you down to Parque de la Independencia but you will have to change in Andres.

To clarify:

Is there an express bus leaving the airport in SD to Boca Chica? Or do I have to get to a bus terminal in SD in order to get to BC?

Thanks a lot to all!

To get to Boca Chica from the airport (SDQ) you need to take a taxi. The rate is $20 USD.

I am sorry....

What I mean is: I do not need to leave from the airport per se, nor go directly from the airport to BC. I am willing to go to a bus station in Santo Domingo in order to get to BC. Can I take a bus from the airport to the bus station and then to BC? Or must I take a taxi to the bus station and then the bus?

You can get a taxi to the bridge over the motorway (2 mins) and then a bus to BC

Santo Domingo (Ciudad Centro) is west of the airport and Boca Chica is east of the airport. Not trying to be sarcastic but you need to look at a map of the DR.

If you go to the bus station in Santo Domingo you will just make a U-turn and go back the same way you came to get to Boca Chica. The only reason I can see you going to Santo Domingo first is if you have business to take care of before going to Boca Chica.
