The station in the capital of the modern bus company Caribe Tours (www.caribetours.com.do). The busses have airconditioning, drive punctually and stop only at some arranged stops. (2007) |
 |
The other modern bus company, Metro, with the same conditions as Caribe Tours. (1999, Park Independencia) |
| |  | |
These are interlocal busses ("guaguas") who leave every 15 minutes, here arriving from the capital in Azua. You can find them in every city and they are cheaper than Caribe Tours or Metro, and stop everywhere when someone wants to go in or out. (2007) |
|
Busses like this one drive local or to villages in the neighbourhood, they are less luxury (no airconditioning). (1994) |
|
Another local bus. The man at the door ("cobrador") is calling where they are going and you have to pay him. Behind it a public car (see the next picture). (1999, crossing of Duarte and Mella) |
|
These are public cars ("carros públicos") with six passengers! They drive regular routes in the capital and you have to know them. The driver shows with his hand where he's going to: to the right, to the left or straight on. (1994, 30 de Marzo with Park Independencia) |
| | | |
Another public car in the capital. The bus behind it drives regular routes too, which you have to know. (1994, 30 de Marzo with Park Independencia) |
|
Another bus, though there are now more modern bus lines in the capital and of course there are the normal taxi's too. (1994, Bolívar with Park Independencia)
A yellow beauty too. (2000, Park Independencia) |

The motor-taxi. This is the main mean of transport in the smaller cities and in the suburbs of the capital. Make: honda 50 and 70. (2003) |
|
This is the Honda 70, used for all kinds of transport. (2003/8) |
| | | |
You also see the yamaha moped a lot. |
|
These are the taxi's you see in Samaná. (2007) |
|
The yamaha of-the-road is also a customary mean of transport. (2002) |
|
The last years the scooter became very popular, but they aren't used like a motor-taxi. Sometimes they strip them to the bone! (2002) |
| | | |
The bicycle is mainly used for pleasure. (2002) |
