My wife and I just returned from 5 awesome days in Puerto Rico. We stayed in the Condado area of San Juan. We had a great time and I was able to get some transit pics as well as a few rides. AMA has Nova RTS, Nova LFS, New Flyer DE35LF, Orion V (35 footers) and Flxible Metro-E.
The buses look really shabby and beat up, but the A/C is really cold and those buses can really move. I suspect that they're not governed. I rode 1 RTS, several New Flyers and 1 Flxible. The RTS, Flxible and some of the Orions have the DD S50/Allison, but the rest sound like Cummins engines.
Enjoy...

Nice pictures. Their equipment actually looks pretty good. For the most part. I see some lapses, like the faulty signs, but other than that the good outweighs the bad. |

those are pretty tight! I wonder how long the AMA had those novas, I didn't even know that AMA had any! |

Looks like there's no window at the rear of the LFS... Looks like the lights above the doors on the LFS have been taken off too. |

Yes, they're LFS do not have rear windows. A lot of the older buses were a bit shabby, but they were quite fast. I'd love to visit Puerto Rico again. |
