OMSA
A government bus. For 5 pesos you ride an oven, and for 10 you ride a steam oven. Created during President Leonel Fernandez's first term, it was a marvel back then: clean 5-peso buses, attendants, and excellent service. Over time it became just another government mess: rude staff, hour-long waits, unprofessional employees, disgusting buses, and constant frustration. (OMSA is the state-run bus system in the Dominican Republic).
1: Bro, let's go to Villa Mella. 2: Sure, let's take a minibus. 1: No man, let's take the OMSA for 10 pesos, one with the cold AC! 2: You think I'm stupid or what? Those things just blow steam. 1: Oh, so you want to spend 20 on a minibus? 2: No. 1: Well, OMSA it is then. Get your pillow because we're going to be sleeping there.
