As in most of the USA, if you do not have a car you are lost.
Puertoricans tend to overuse (over air-conditioned) cars, also for short distances and there is always a lot of traffic. That is also due to the weather, so hot and humid and rainy particularly in the hurricane season: March to September.
Public transportation (lineas de carros) in Puerto Rico is only acceptable in the most touristic area, like Condado and Old San Juan.
Public transportation between cities does not offer information other than in Spanish and have a website not informative at all for public use (only celebrative of what they are).
Tickets can be purchased on board, exact fare only, but the driver has been very tolerant with us as tourists.
All children over 2 year pay a ticket, although in 2011 it is only 0.75$. So for a family with children a taxi would be a lot faster and not too more expensive.
That is why I had to rent a car. Here is my experience.
