The trolleys haven't run for several years and I suspect it's unlikely the service will ever be restored. Last I heard the garitas are still running .

I've visited San Juan several times, including twice in the last month, and have never heard of "garitas" as transportation (to me they are the iconic sentry boxes 🙂). That said, we didn't see any golf carts running around the streets last month. Doesn't mean they weren't there, but we didn't notice them if they were . . . @DeniseAtBeach we did use Uber in San Juan. Easy and inexpensive. Enjoy your cruise!

I've never taken one and truthfully I can't remember if I've ever seen one. If you happen to see an empty one you can flag it down and ask the driver to take you to your destination in Old San Juan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniseAtBeach Posted March 7, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Thanks for the responses! Need Wifi for Uber use and our phones won't work in San Juan! Will look for the Garitas or hoof it on foot like last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't run on fixed routes or at set times but if you see an empty one you can ask the driver to take you anywhere within Old San Juan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phabric Posted March 25, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Do you tip them? Would they give you a small tour around San Juan like the trolley did? Or, is it go from point A to point B and get out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
