The Urban Train "Tren Urbano"
Puerto Rico's largest infrastructure project--a 11-mile (17.6 km) metropolitan rapid-transit system known as the Tren Urbano--is North America's first comprehensive turnkey transit project. The rail line will serve the most densely populated corridor of the island, linking the central business district to residential and employment areas in San Juan and neighboring communities.
Phase I of the Tren Urbano System begins operation in the third quarter of 2003.
Phase I connects Bayamón, Guaynabo, and San Juan's Rio Piedras, Hato Rey, and Santurce sectors.
Future construction phases will extend the system to the Minillas Government Center in Santurce, the municipality of Carolina, Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport in Isla Verde, Old San Juan, and Caguas.
This system will use electric trains that can cruise 55 miles (88 km) an hour on dedicated guideways. The majority of the Phase I route is elevated, one long section is at ground level, and another is underground.
There will be 16 passenger stations strategically located in commercial and residential areas with the highest population density and greatest traffic congestion.
Trains will depart every four minutes during peak transit hours and every 10 to 12 minutes during other periods.
Estimated travel time from Bayamón to Santurce is 30 minutes.
Estimated project cost of Phase I is $1.67 billion.
The system will have a total of 74 vehicles.
