Transportation from the City Center to Bogota Airport
You can use taxi or public transportation to reach El Dorado International Airport, which is 11 km from Bogota city center.
Minibuses named Buseta are quite common and economical. It is possible to reach Bogota Airport by taking the bus labeled "Aeropuerto" on Calle 19, which is very close to La Candelaria. In addition, airport buses pass through the main street named Avenida 26.
One of the alternatives used to reach the airport from the city center is the municipal buses with the line number P500. Cash payments are not accepted on these buses. The kiosks and newsstands in the city center sell tickets. However, the easiest method is to buy Tullave Card. It takes an average of 50 minutes to reach the airport with the P500 buses from the city center. This time may vary depending on the traffic situation.
Another public transportation option is Transmilenio's K10 buses. You can take this bus to the Portal El Dorado stop and reach Bogota Airport with the airport's free green bus Alimentador. Depending on the traffic, it may take 45 minutes to go from Bogota city center to Bogota Airport by bus, but it is a much more economical method than a taxi.
Also, taxis in Bogota are known to be unsafe, so it's wiser to opt for reliable apps like Uber rather than taking a taxi from the street.
Transportation from Punta Cana Airport to the City Center
Although Punta Cana Airport is not the main airport of the Dominican Republic, it has a very high flight traffic. Airport transfer is usually included in this package, as most tourists arriving at the airport in the eastern part of the island, in the Punta Cana region, have purchased a package from a resort.
Therefore, after exiting the Punta Cana Airport arrivals terminal and passing the customs, you can find the guide bearing the name of your hotel on the right. He or she will direct you to the bus you need to take.
If Punta Cana Airport Transfer is not included in your hotel reservation, private or shared transfer service, taxi and public transportation options are available. Airport transfers are the most preferred method.
Some of the reliable companies for Punta Cana Airport transfers are Amstar DMC, Best Day, Discovery Mundo and HyperDestination. It is most logical to make a reservation in advance by contacting the companies directly or by looking at tour sites such as Viator. You can also use Viator for shared transfer companies or make reservations from companies such as Coming 2 and Gray Line.
One of the most common ways to get from Punta Cana Airport to the city center is by taxi. You can see fixed-price airport taxis as soon as they clear customs. The price list is available from almost every taxi driver and all taxis operate at these prices. However, it is useful to talk about the place and price from the beginning.
Uber is also used in Punta Cana, but you may be prevented from using Uber by other taxi drivers, especially at the airport. Either they prevent Uber drivers from entering the airport, or taxi drivers can accept your request from the app as if it were Uber and then demand more money.
As a more economical option, if you want to reach the city center by public transportation from Punta Cana Airport, it is possible to use the minibuses called gua gua, but if you have hand luggage or a backpack, you should prefer these vehicles as they usually do not have luggage. When you leave the terminal and reach the main street, you can get on the minibus from the stop near the hub.
These vehicles go to Veron or Higuey and pass about every 15 minutes, but the flights stop at 6:00 pm. From Veron, you can find another gua gua to Higuey or take the bus to Macao and Uvero Alto. To embark on an adventure, the option to take a motor taxi from Veron is one-to-one.
