Route and stops

Route 22 makes a short, direct journey between the train’s terminal station and the shopping mall. This is ATI’s official route in the Sagrado Corazón → Plaza direction:

  • Sagrado Corazón Station — Urban Train connection
  • Ave. Ponce de León
  • Calle Chardón
  • Avenida Hostos
  • Calle Juan Calaf
  • Plaza Las Américas

In the Plaza → Sagrado Corazón direction the route runs in reverse, with one difference: it uses Ave. Muñoz Rivera instead of Ponce de León on the final stretch.

⚠️ Route 22 does not run on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays. If you are going to Plaza at the weekend: on Saturdays you can use route 21, which does operate.

The Sunday alternative is getting off at Roosevelt station on the Urban Train and walking about 20 minutes, or taking a taxi or ride-hailing service.

You can also board at Hato Rey station, which is closer to Plaza. Roosevelt is the nearest station to the mall on foot, but it is just over 1.5 km west, about a 20-minute walk along Avenida Roosevelt.

Route 22 and Plaza Las Américas

Plaza Las Américas is the largest shopping mall in the Caribbean, with more than 300 stores, cinemas and a food court. Routes 22 and 21 are the only two AMA routes that terminate inside the mall itself, which saves the 20-minute walk from Roosevelt station.

Keep the mall’s opening hours in mind when planning your return: Plaza closes at 9:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday, but the last Route 22 trip towards Sagrado Corazón leaves at 8:30 p.m.
