Las Americas Airport Public Bus Details

Public Las Americas Airport Bus

The main public transportation system in Santo Domingo is managed by the Oficina Metropolitana de Servicios de Autobuses (OMSA), which is funded by the government.


Bus service is geared towards locals getting to and from work, so it is not very user-friendly for tourists. Busses – called "guaguas" by locals - may not be marked and routes may not be clear. As a result, it may be difficult to determine if you are on the right bus unless you ask the driver (and you can understand each other!).


Buses without air conditioning are cheapest, whereas those with air conditioning are more comfortable and less crowded. There are also express buses that only stop at major transportation hubs.


Look for busses from Las Americas Airport to Santo Domingo on the second level at Terminal A (South).

Las Americas Airport Private Bus Details

There are many private bus lines that can take you to different cities in Dominican Republic. Many companies offer air conditioned coaches, and some even offer coffee and cookies on board.


Among the bus operators are:

  • Metro Bus / MetroPAC travels from Santo Domingo to Santiago and Puerto Plata (runs about every 2 hours)
  • Caribe Tours travels to Dajabon, Montecristi, Sosua, Puerto Plata and Santiago (runs about every hour)
  • Expresso travels to various cities (runs hourly)


Note: Expresso offers the cheapest transportation between cities but busses are typically smaller and slower, making many stops along the way.
