    No sooner than we were off the ship, we came across many mini buses parked along the street. They were offering to take us to Fort Cristobal for the reasonable fee of $5.00 US each. As it was quite a hike there from the dock area we went for it. The driver did give us a little tour of San Juan and let us off in front of the Fort.

    $0.25 a ride to practically anywhere in San Juan and Viejo San Juan. Goes out as far as Plaza las Américas, Bayamón and Condado. Very convenient, air conditioned for tropical climate comfort. More reliable than driving into Viejo San Juan as parking is an utter nightmare.

    Finally, the long overdue new transportation system for the San Juan Metropolitan area will start officially by the end of Feb. 2005. Right now, you can get free rides on the weekends from 10.00 AM - 4.00 PM

    Tren Urbano, the new rail transportation system for metropolitan San Juan, will start revenue service by the end of Feb. 2005. Right now, they are introducing the system to the citizens with free rides on weekends and other special days. So far, Stage one (Red)from Bayamon (west of San Juan) to Sagrado Corazon station is the only one developed. It seems that the next line to be built will be Carolina to Rio Piedras (green). So far, the airport and other areas frequented by tourists are not covered but as you can see, there are plans to eventually cover Condado, Isla Verde and the edge of old San Juan

    In this nice bus the bus driver drove us up to Fort Cristobal along a nice road with beautiful buildings. The cost was very reasonable$10 U.S for an hour and a half tour around Old San Juan. Then he drove right through the center of the town and dropped us off for some shopping That was no surprise, we walked back to the Cruise ship.

  • We were able to take the local bus from our hotel in Isla Verde to Old San Juan for 25 cents. Look for the bus stops in front of most hotels. They are marked with a big green ball on top of them. The bus delivers you to the bus station in Old San Juan and picks you up from the same place for the return trip. Approx 35 minutes travel time each way. A taxi ride was $17.00 each way!

  • The local Merchants Association sponsors a free trolley that does a continuous route throughout the Old City. Ask for a map with the route marked from the Information Center kiosk near Cruise Ship Pier 1. You can use it to get a good overall view of the city by staying on for the whole circuit. HOWEVER: all the streets are narrow and one-way so traffic moves very slowly, especialy on weekends or when there are special events. So if you're only going a short distance you'll probably do better on foot.

  • I found people in Puerto Rico drive crazier then anywhere else I have been. Be prepared to be a defensive driver when trying to get around.
