Fare
Right now travel is free because fare collection is suspended. When ATI reinstates fares, Route 20 will carry the Metro Urbano price, higher than that of an ordinary bus:
Tarjeta Dorada holders travel free. Payment will be made on boarding, with exact change or with the travel card sold at Tren Urbano stations.
Tren Urbano connection
Route 20 starts at Bayamón Station, the western terminus of the Tren Urbano, which makes it the way into the train from Toa Baja:
- 🚆Bayamón StationTrain terminus. Routes 2, 37, 91 and 92 also stop there
- 🅿️Park & RideFree, guarded parking at Bayamón (480 spaces) and also at the Campanilla terminal
From Bayamón Station the train reaches Sagrado Corazón, the other terminus, in about 29 minutes, stopping at Centro Médico, Río Piedras and Hato Rey among others.
What Metro Urbano is
Metro Urbano is the network’s express service tier: buses that use the motorway to link municipalities in the metropolitan area with the Tren Urbano, skipping the intermediate stops of a local route.
There are only two Metro Urbano routes in the whole network:
- Route 20 — Bayamón Station ⇄ Toa Baja (Campanilla), via PR-22
- Route 30 — Cupey Station ⇄ Caguas, via PR-52
Both share the $2.00 fare when collection is active. The practical difference between them is the calendar: Route 30 runs every day, Sundays included, whereas Route 20 is limited to working days.
