Vamonos en la Mercedes-Benz

A sarcastic way to say you are taking the public bus. It plays on the irony that the city's public bus fleet is made up of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, making a cheap and often crowded commute sound like a luxury trip. (OMSA is the government-run public bus system in the Dominican Republic).

- Bro!!! vamonos to my house en la Mercedes... - My man!!! You're treating me like royalty! - Fine... just let me get to the bus stop... You're getting on an OMSA Mercedes-Benz!! Don't complain!!

Charra

A beat-up car or junker that is in terrible condition, makes a racket, and emits a lot of smoke.

Those shared taxis known as carritos publicos are a perfect example of a charra. (In the Dominican Republic, carritos publicos are shared sedans that follow set routes and are often very old and poorly maintained).
