The trolleys in Old San Juan do not run on a “set schedule”. They run continuously throughout the day, making their respective loops around the city. The amount of time between trolleys at a given stop depends
on the amount of street traffic in Old San Juan, and how many people are getting on/off at each stop (more people on/off takes longer per stop). Personally, we don’t depend on the trolleys since it’s often easier and quicker to walk.

How often does the trolley run? A local said every 2 hours….

Any of the parking lots or decks in Old San Juan are fine. We like to use one of the parking decks along Recinto Sur (indicated on the trolley map by a ‘P’ inside of a pinkish triangle). Those parking decks are easy-in, easy-out without having to deal with the traffic ‘inside’ of Old San Juan.

Thanks for the kind words!

You could figure that each loop takes about 30-45 minutes. Of course, that will depend on traffic, the number of people getting on and off, and how long it takes for people to get on and off, etc.

I’m not sure that it makes much sense to take all 3 trolley routes … these are not sight-seeing trolleys … they are for transportation. Also, each of the 3 loops has considerable overlap with the others, so you’d essentially find yourself riding around in circles!

Hope this helps.

The trolleys are supposed to run everyday, including holidays. July 4 is not _that_ big of a holiday here, so I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t be running.

Hope this helps.
