Bus from Capitol to Punta Cana?

[nycjazzsinger]

I heard that there is a bus on Maximo Gomez that you can take to go to Punta Cana for about 70 pesos. Has anyone heard of this? If so, where can I take the nus at Punta Cana to go back to Santo Domingo? Thanks.

OMG!! THE PHONE # IS NOT CORRECT...THE RIGHT ONE IS 809-682-9670

I had a very hard time getting someone to understand what I was asking at the other number, until I called the one for Punta Cana and they told me the right #...

These buses leave you in Bavaro, and you have to take a taxi to Punta Cana or to the hotels...but it's worth it...

Thanks for the info Dolores!
