Caribe bus from Sosua to Samana ??

[CyaBye3015]

I took the "purple bus" back from Sanchez at about 2:30 pm around two months ago, so i suspect it leaves Samana around 2:00 pm. Frankly I wouldn't recommend it, it was the longest 4 hours of my life.

That's the Caribe Tour bus that's been cancelled.
In fact, I think they cancelled it the day after you used it.
What the heck did you do to that bus, Joe?

Actually Mark I did ride the public bus, but I think the Caribe Tour bus was still running at that time. We were given bad advice by the locals, we were told that was the only bus to Sousa.

That's probably correct. When I arrived at POP airport and took a taxi to Sosua, the maroon bus drove by in the opposite direction around 5:30 pm.
I took this maroon bus the next morning at 7:05 am to Samana.

In Samana at the local bus terminal near the market, there are two buses scheduled for Puerto Plata, one at 10:00 am, a white bus with blue that I took on my journey back, and another at 2:00 pm, which I'm sure must be the maroon bus.

Yes, Gert, the 2 pm deparature is the maroon bus.
