Tren Urbano |
The City of San Juan now boasts one of
the world's newest metro systems, and the only metro in the Caribbean. The
system is called Tren Urbano (or Urban Train). The current system consists
of one line, but branches and extensions are planned The line goes through
many sections of the city and suburbs. It really needs to be extended into
Old San Juan with its busy cruise ship port. The system is fast and clean,
but it is also much more expensive then the parallel bus lines.
 I rode a short portion of the line
during a cruise ship layover in 2006. I was able to return in early 2020,
agains as a cruise stopover, this time I rode the entire line. There are
two underground stations on the system that remind me very much of Los
Angeles's Red Line stations, very light and airy.
The list below are in station order
starting at Sagrado Corazon, not all station have photos.
