Would it be possible to construct a type of railroad/subway system throughout the whole island of Puerto Rico?

I know that in the “metro” part of the island PR does in fact have subways and buses. I am from Aguadilla. I was born in Aguadilla but moved to NY when I was just 2 weeks old. So i pretty much have lived the ” city life” and its so easy to move around with so much public transportation. In the “isla” part of Puerto Rico ( as many would put it, another thing i don’t understand much, Why call it isla? when the whole thing is an island .) We don’t have public transportation other then the ” carro publico” which i don’t really like much. I mean its convenient but to an extent. What if I want to get to Mayaguez for example? I can’t just get on a carro publico and go. They have certain places they travel to and I believe that after 3:30 or 4:00 PM they no longer are running. I would also have to get in to a car/ van full of strangers and the vehicle won’t leave if it isn’t full . Some times I may not want to be surrounded by strangers, and have the convenience to travel to different places or town’s that others may not have the need/ interest to go to. I believe the whole city could make so much money off public transportation. Not only subways but taxis ( yes they have some, but they all stay at the airport to pick up travelers ). Life would be so much more fun in PR if the west side was to get some sort of reliable 24/7 public transportation. I really don’t think it would ever happen . However, I would like to know what other Puerto Ricans think. Do you think the rest of the island should get some sort of public transportation? and/or even Private cab service? I personally think it would be super convenient being that everyone needs a car in PR and not everyone can have a car, for various personal reasons. When I use to live in PR and study in la Inter, I had one professor tell me that they had plans to build a Disney Land next to the Aguadilla airport but that the surrounding neighborhood and even Puerto Ricans from other towns opposed the idea. People need to wake up and smell the coffee… DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS? THE WHOLE ISLAND COULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM THAT. WE MAY NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN IN SUCH A GREAT ECONOMIC DOWNFALL IN PR. PR’S #1 ECONOMIC SOURCE IS TRAVEL AND HOSPITALITY!!!! THEY EVEN TRIED TO CONSTRUCT A CLUB MED, BUT COULDN’T BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS OPPOSED BY THE SAME PEOPLE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A “DISCO CLUB” WHEN REALLY ALL IT IS…IS A VACATION RESORT…. IGNORANCE WILL GET PEOPLE NO WHERE. I really would like for the island to push ahead and be better off, but if we don’t invest in it how will we ever better the island? Come on people lets share our island a bit, just cause you share it doesn’t mean your gonna lose any cultural value or anything. Plus we should be proud of our island, so proud that we should even show it off a bit and keep the natural beauty of it alive. YES, I’M TRYING TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT WE NEED TO KEEP THE BEACH CLEAN!! WE ARE LOSING TOURIST BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF KEEPING THEM CLEAN. IF YOUR GONNA “DO IT” PLEASE DISPOSE OF THE “HAT” WHERE IT’S SUPPOSE TO BE DISPOSED OF… MEANING OFF PUBLIC LOCATIONS ESPECIALLY THE BEACH!! And ladies PLEASE DON’T GO TO THE BEACH AND THROW YOUR NASTY PADS ON THE BEACH… WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT I WAS LIKE EWWW.. WHY EVEN DO THAT? We really are in great need of money…and of the public transportation !!!! So do you guys think we should include a public transportation / private cab service throughout the “isla” part of Puerto Rico?

I really mean no offence to anyone. I think it came off a little strong, for that I am sorry. I am not sorry for what i said. I really think it is a shame that we can’t clean up our island and keep the beauty of it alive and share it. I also think we are in lack of transportation. Both the transportation and the perseverance of our island and construction of well known resorts and such… would really help PR a great deal. I LOVE MY ISLAND AND HATE TO SEE IT SUFFER BUT WE NEED TO START DEPENDING ON OURSELVES AND NOT OFF OTHERS FOR A CHANGE.

*********** SORRY FOR IT BEING SO LONG LOL *********************
Who said i was in PR at this very moment? I’m no longer in PR. Maybe you should try and read a bit more. Another thing, PR right now receives 30,000,000 from foreign countries including the U.S, and Europe. Not to mention “los cupones” where does that come from? Not P.R … the U.S.A and from that 30,000,000 that PR is given…. 30,000,000,000 has to be given back to the investing countries. P.R is already Americanized as it is. Or are you gonna tell me that Mcdonalds is a Puerto Rican restaurant, and that Burger king, wendy’s, Job Corps, even la inter wasn’t founded by a Puerto Rican. Even the stores you have aren’t from Puerto Rico… example… Walmart, Pac Sun Journeys… even stores with Spanish names aren’t from P.R .Stop being so damn ignorant. NO BODY WAS ATTACKING THE ISLAND. It’s people like you too who really need to take the “pride” down a notch cause its obviously is blinding you from finding out all that information and is clearly not letting you understand things correct

I’m scared to death of those 2 person free fall rides, but no other type of roller coaster. Why is this?

I realized this at Dorney park, just recently. I remember being younger and doing the tower of terror ride in Florida and it not bothering me. As stated, not other roller coaster bothers me, and I’ve ridden everything @ Hershey Park and Dorney…

If I’m going to Typhoon Lagoon & Blizzard Beach what type of bathing suit should I wear ?

I’m not fat and I feel OK with my body, is not a showing thing, just that those websites recommend to wear a one piece bathing suit but, does people really pay attention to that ?
I just want to know what kind of people you see the most (1piece or bikini) and also, how dangerous is to wear a 2 piece one ?
BTW– I’m not from the US first time going to those water parks and don’t know what people used to do in those cases.

Where should we go and what type of crowd should we expect in the Orlando area nightlife?

Me and a few of my friends are going to Orlando June 5th to the 8th and we are curious as to where to go at night, we heard about City Walk, and I also heard about a street down there i think its called Church Street. I wanted to hear some feedback as to where we should go to party and hang out with some single Females that are the same age as us …age range 23-29.

Let me know thanks,
