City Buses in San Juan

[Harbie]

are the city buses safe and easy to figure out in San Juan. I have read alot of reviews about them and that they are cost effective only $1.

I have used them on two different visits there and they worked out great.

 

Cabs were generally a rip off so the bus service was dirt cheap vs cabs.

 

I just asked the desk clerk at my hotel and they told me what stops to take for where I was heading.

We also used them last year and didn't have a problem except finding out which bus to take. It was very cheap compared to a taxi. It takes a little longer with the stops, but my husband and I rode it from OSJ to the beaches at Isla Verda. It took us a little while to get some help on which bus though. I will say they only accept quarters, not bills, and only exact change. There was a hop or something around the corner who has a change machine. I think though that the bus only cost us 50 or 75cents. A bargin compared to a taxi!

We will be on RCCL in Jan 2012, I think we are at the Pan American port? Can you tell me if you left from that area, how long it took you to get to Isla Verda and which bus you took? Many thanks.
