The rollingstock looks like modern versions of the Budd Universal Transit Vehicle's used on the Miami and Baltimore metro's.

[@kenmills4739]

ThebusofdoomFSX: You also forgot to include Vancouver (Canada) as far as the elevated train track views go, although that system uses the MARK railcar series like the ones currently used on the Airtrain service @ JFK ✈️(soon LGA✈️), and the TTC's Scarborough RT Line. 🚝

Awesome Video Interesting Horn Sound of the Train it sound like Students getting out of School and The Underground Stations Design Looks alot like the Underground Subway in Los Angeles as well as the Train

[@andrive]

Yeah

[@andrive]

But The trains are starting to look old now

[@erik_griswold]

The underground stations look just like the ones in Los Angeles

[@cowbobranchpantssireatsalo24]

Erik Griswold underground

[@RobertPaniagua]

And also the underground ones resemble the MBTAs Northwest Extension Red Line to Alewife

[@kenmills4739]

Erik Griswold: the station @ 349-411 in particular reminds me of the Forest Hills stop on the MBTA Orange Line because of the short section of tunnel (too bad the entire Southwest Corridor is completely in an open-cut because I was expecting a raised embankment type route like it's former railroad ancestor that was almost turned into a highway that was stopped; imagine this train up and running while the TV show "The flying Nun" was in broadcast (Sister Bertrille would possibly sneak a ride when not airborne).

tram bells as horns?

[@steve1reg]

A good subway line. But it was never finished. It terminates a couple of miles short of Old San Juan and the busiest streets.

[@ElJibaro718]

Old San Juan is a historic district. I'm guessing that with all of those old buildings, building the subway wasn't possible.

[@franksuact498]

SALUDOS LIMA PERÚ

[@qolspony]

The train cars look like a mixture of old and new design.

[@MysticTransit]

Hello. I am a fellow transit KZbinr. I'm currently working on a video on the Tren Urbano system. Wondering if I'd be able to use some of the clips in this video for background footage? I would of course give you credit. Thanks, MT.

[@youwu__]

The low ridership is due to the location of the city.

[@GilbertoCLugo]

tenemos un trencito .. lol.. 10 millas de tramo solamente cuando antes estaba todo alrededor de la isla..

[@Hardtransport]

Great video ;)

[@angelgonzalez-du1oo]

Why the train don't have the Puerto Rican flag on the outside of each cars or the government of Puerto Rico symbol or a small Puerto Rico map or El moro symbol? What those it says on the side or front or back of the train?

[@Kanal7Indonesia]

No canopy for outside station, oh American infrastructure lol

[@bhigdaddymark]

@Timosha21 Thanks for the link to this video! I enjoyed your video on the Metro in the D.R. that I subscribed after watching that video but hadn’t checked out your channel for the other videos you produce so when you sent this link to me, I didn’t know that you also produced it, GREAT job indeed! Considering that I’m from NYC and grew up riding that subway system, this is gorgeous and I wish the citizens of San Juan well with it. If you’re ever there again and you’re able to, try to do a RFW video please and thanks.

Εξαιρετικό! Εύγε!

[@johnsfo2023]

Interesting that the trains have gongs.

[@egron3182]

It's sad few people use the metro in Puerto Rico.

[@MrBnsftrain]

That's because the metro doesn't connect many of the busiest parts of the city!

[@egron3182]

MrBnsftrain that's part of it but also it's cultural and just because most people have cars.

[@somemanwhoateapuertoricanl7859]

E GRon well if you take a look, a lot of metros in Latin America don't even seem to work, mostly due to money laundering and corruption, as opposed to North America where the problem is more about the people who refuse to take public transit or start up NIMBYing to stop a mass transit project, mostly in fear that inner-city ghettos will bring crime to their community

[@egron3182]

some man who ate a puerto rican leg well they might not seem to work but for example Dominican Republic's metro has more than 10 times the daily ridership of Puerto Rico's.

[@somemanwhoateapuertoricanl7859]

E GRon that's because Dominican Republic is poorer. Also, it's not only about ridership, it's also about expanding the system and the many delays they get

[@johnnydo4081]

Can you film dallas dart rail?

[@qolspony]

Where's the canopy for rain?

[@metr0p0Iitain]

Why do drivers have to ring when pulling into the stations? That's sooo weird!

[@FordEscape12345678]

To let everyone know that they're approaching. Puerto Rico is the only place that they do that

[@manisanti]

metr0p0Iitain Puerto Rico Nonsense and Political Correctness to prevent sues. And when the doors are clossing, the driver has to say "doors clossing" by microphone. Amd conmuters start complaining if he forgot it. And other nonsense of Puerto Rican individualis behaviors.

[@somemanwhoateapuertoricanl7859]

Manuel Santiago Jr. then why don't they put an automatic door closing signal like in the rest of the world???

[@ElJibaro718]

@@manisanti are you Puerto Rican?

[@rosarosario4339]

I wonder how much here in the Big Apple is 2.75 and they are raising soon

[@kenmills4739]

Rosa Rosario: "Fare hikes takes the express while improvements takes the local", a true statement when the price went from $1.15 to $1.25 in the early 1990s here in NYC; with new train routes, they have their moments too whether a traditional single flat fare or a structured fare zone system.
