Getting around
Getting around Puerto Rico with current operating sources
Match the trip to the responsible system, then check the same-day route, schedule, service alert, boarding rules, accessibility, and a backup.

Choose the system for the trip
| Trip | Official starting point | Verify at travel time |
|---|---|---|
| Tren Urbano or ATI bus | ATI urban transportation page. [1] | Route and stop, service day, first and last trip, frequency or timetable, fare medium, transfer, and accessibility |
| San Juan–Cataño ferry | Puerto Rico Ferry route and schedule page. [2] | Current schedule, terminal, ticket channel, boarding time, service alert, and return option |
| Ceiba–Vieques or Ceiba–Culebra ferry | Puerto Rico Ferry route and schedule page. [2] | Passenger or cargo service, resident rules when relevant, ticket inventory, terminal arrival, baggage or vehicle rules, and alerts |
| A trip outside the listed network | The responsible municipal, público, taxi, shuttle, carrier, or other operator | Exact pickup, destination, service area, booking, price, accessibility, and backup |
Run the day-of-travel check
- Reopen the live route. Confirm that the service, stop or terminal, direction, and travel date match the itinerary.
- Read the service alert. A blank or old alert page is not proof of normal operations; check the schedule, app or official channel identified by the operator.
- Confirm boarding and payment. Verify ticket inventory, accepted payment, activation, arrival cutoff, identification, baggage, vehicle, and resident rules that apply.
- Confirm accessibility directly. Ask the operator about the exact vehicle, station, terminal, assistance, paratransit eligibility, and accommodation needed.
- Keep a backup. Weather, traffic, mechanical issues, capacity, and missed connections can change the trip. Preserve enough time and another route where practical.
Puerto Rico Ferry also maintains a separate service-alert endpoint. Read its timestamp and affected route alongside the current schedule before departure. [3]
