San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero Lugo announced on Sunday a comprehensive free transportation plan designed for employees of businesses in Old San Juan during the traditional San Sebastián Street Festival.


“With this plan, we guarantee that employees of businesses in Old San Juan can get to work for free and safely, while we continue to promote the economic development of our city,” the mayor said, while expressing thanks to the Old San Juan Merchants Association (ACOVI by its acronym in Spanish), the Corporation for the Economic Development of the Isleta de San Juan and Its Surroundings (CODEVISA) and all transportation partners “for their collaboration in this effort that benefits both the community and the most emblematic event in San Juan.”


The plan includes the distribution of daily passes to participating businesses, which will allow employees:


* Free parking at the Convalecencia Parking Lot in Río Piedras or at the Municipal Tower Parking Lot in Hato Rey, located on the west side of the Miguel Agrelot Puerto Rico Coliseum.


* Transportation from those points by the Urban Train to the Sagrado Corazón Station, where there will be a special line for employees with passes. From there, municipal buses will take them to the transfer station at the Capitol.


* CODEVISA will complete the route from the Capitol to Plaza Colón, allowing employees to go directly to their workplaces in Old San Juan.


The return journey will be available at the end of the working day, guaranteeing the same free service and comfort.


“This collaboration is vital to ensure that employees can get to their workplaces without complications, while we as merchants maintain fluid operations during the most important event in Old San Juan,” ACOVI President Karen Clark said.
