To answer a couple of ...Excellent report on the TU. To answer a couple of points:<br /><br />The "Alternativa" part of ATI refers to an alternative to driving; as you doubtlessly saw during your visit to the island, we have a major issue with road congestion. <br /><br />The bus route chart issue is bad, in general terms, though in all fairness, the bus routes were changed recently and the old posters at each station were taken down. <br /><br />Some time back there used to be poster maps at each station indicating what was within a short walking radius of the station. Inexplicably, they were taken down and have not been seen since.<br /><br />At the beginning of its existence, ATI published a monthly mini-magazine that was available free of charge at each station; it included the TU map, all bus routes and articles (and ads) relating to things about the TU system and nearby points and businesses of interest. This too disappeared some years back.<br /><br />You mention that: "At most stations, there is some work of art somewhere..." This is not entirely correct: EVERY station has a work of art in it... though some are hard to spot as independent "art", such as in the case of the "eggshell lamps" in San Francisco Station (which look like... lamps), the "Steel Brushes" hanging from the ceiling of Rio Piedras Station (which can easily be mistaken as part of the A/C system) or the Photographic Murals of Roosevelt Station (showing blown-up photographs of the golden era of steam trains of the American Railroad Company of Puerto Rico (A.R.R.) on the island).<br /><br />Another issue is that most stations were build with lots of retail space, but very few are occupied; the largest is a College at Bayamon Station. This is not entirely due to a lack of interest: when the TU opened, they did not have the bureaucratic infrastructure in place to rent space at its stations. Once this was in place, there were permit hurdles that had to be overcome. Once these were done, the cost of renting was... ridiculous (I should know; the company I was working for at the time had me look into it)... By the time the rent was brought down, the island's economy tanked and made it difficult to build new businesses.<br /><br />Sadly, the TU is a first-rate system under terrible management at every level. Still, the potential is there; all that is needed is the proper vison and the will to implement it.Sings-With-Spiritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005247580103601388noreply@blogger.com
