Getting aound is easy, Taxi cabs, which must be licensed by the Public Service Commission, are reasonably priced and plentiful. A new system of "tourist taxis" has been established, through which fixed rates are charged between the airport and ports and tourist areas, such as Isla Verde, Condado and Old San Juan. In other cases, taxis are required to use their meters, except on long-distance charter trips. Ask your driver to use the meter if it isn't immediately turned on. Additional charges are allowed for baggage and pick-up service. (Check under Taxi Cabs).

There's also more luxurious limousine service, between the airport and your hotel, and also throughout the Island.

There is also extensive bus service, supplied by the Metropolitan Bus Authority and the Metrobus system, which charge 25 cents and 50 cents respectively. Bus stops are usually marked by signs that read "Parada." Buses use special lanes against the flow of traffic, so they are quicker during rush hours.

For schedules and route information, ask drivers or at the tourist information centers in Old San Juan and at the Dos Hermanos Bridge in the Condado. The central bus station is in the Covadonga Parking Lot in Old San Juan, but most buses can also be picked up at Plaza Colón, at the entrance to the old city.
