SITRAS, officially, Sistema Integrado de TRAnsportación del Sur (Southern Integrated Transportation System), is the <a href="Mass_transit" class="mw-redirect" title="Mass transit">mass transit</a> system in the city of <a href="Ponce%2C_Puerto_Rico" title="Ponce, Puerto Rico">Ponce, Puerto Rico</a>. The service was inaugurated on 14 February 2012.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

As "a large city that feels like a small town",<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Ponce's public mass transportation system consisted only of a <a href="Shared_taxi" class="mw-redirect" title="Shared taxi">shared taxi</a> service providing <a href="Share_taxi" title="Share taxi">public cars and vans</a> known as públicos.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a>

Since the 1940s,<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> the network of públicos, numbering some 20 "lineas" (lines), had emerged and positioned itself along various downtown city streets.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> The 20 or so lineas served both intra-city and inter-city transportation needs. Lineas providing inter-city service, that is, those heading to other towns such as <a href="San_Juan%2C_Puerto_Rico" title="San Juan, Puerto Rico">San Juan</a>,<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> <a href="Mayaguez%2C_Puerto_Rico" class="mw-redirect" title="Mayaguez, Puerto Rico">Mayaguez</a>, <a href="Guayama%2C_Puerto_Rico" title="Guayama, Puerto Rico">Guayama</a>, <a href="Pe%C3%B1uelas%2C_Puerto_Rico" title="Peñuelas, Puerto Rico">Peñuelas</a>, <a href="Adjuntas%2C_Puerto_Rico" title="Adjuntas, Puerto Rico">Adjuntas</a>, and <a href="Juana_Diaz%2C_Puerto_Rico" class="mw-redirect" title="Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico">Juana Diaz</a>, were stationed around the perimeter of <a href="Plaza_Las_Delicias" title="Plaza Las Delicias">Plaza Las Delicias</a> and numbered eight, with a fleet of 38 vehicles.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Intra-city lines, namely those heading to various communities in the city of Ponce (Jardines del Caribe, Cantera, Glenview, etc.)<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> or to its barrios, including, <a href="Guaraguao" title="Guaraguao">Guaraguao</a>, <a href="An%C3%B3n" title="Anón">Anón</a>, <a href="Coto_Laurel" title="Coto Laurel">Coto Laurel</a>, etc., projected further out from the city center, were located mostly in the area surrounding <a href="Plaza_del_Mercado_de_Ponce" title="Plaza del Mercado de Ponce">Plaza del Mercado de Ponce</a>, and numbered 12 lineas, with a fleet of 109 vehicles.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a>

The entire shared taxi network covered some 8-10 city blocks of downtown Ponce. This decentralized system changed in 1990 when all these líneas scattered throughout downtown Ponce were centralized at the 3-story high <a href="Terminal_de_Carros_P%C3%BAblicos_Carlos_Garay" class="mw-redirect" title="Terminal de Carros Públicos Carlos Garay">Terminal de Carros Públicos Carlos Garay</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> upon the Terminal's inauguration.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> When at its peak, the Carlos Garay <a href="Bus_terminus" class="mw-redirect" title="Bus terminus">terminal</a> accommodated over 100 públicos.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> Yet, while the 1990 públicos centralization at the Carlos Garay Terminal building relieved congestion in some downtown streets, it did little to provide relief from other públicos-related problems: the system continued to be plagued by unpredictable and sporadic service, limited or no service on weekends, no evening service, and similar weaknesses.

In 2008, the administration of mayor <a href="Maria_Melendez" class="mw-redirect" title="Maria Melendez">Maria Melendez</a>, commissioned a study to seek a solution to these problems. After the necessary studies and permit phases were completed, the bus-based mass transit system known as SITRAS was launched.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> The new system cost $4 million to develop.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a>

SITRAS was scheduled to start operating in November 2011,<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> but various factors kept it from inaugurating then. After a 3-month delay the mass transit system was launched in February 2012 with 11 buses and three routes.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a>

Unlike the shared taxi system, SITRAS provides predictable, scheduled service as well as weekend and evening service.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> However, the advent of SITRAS did not do away with the use of públicos altogether. Instead SITRAS was designed to complement the shared taxi service, with SITRAS taking over several city proper routes while públicos were expected to provide "connections" along the SITRAS routes to more remote and rural areas where SITRAS buses could not reach.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a>

The Melendez administration envisioned Ponce's mass transit system to consist of three phases altogether, with future phases including a <a href="Light_rail" title="Light rail">light rail</a> system. Phase II of the project envisions adding route to <a href="Playa_(Ponce)" class="mw-redirect" title="Playa (Ponce)">La Playa</a>, <a href="Coto_Laurel" title="Coto Laurel">Coto Laurel</a>, <a href="Canas_(Ponce)" class="mw-redirect" title="Canas (Ponce)">El Tuque</a> and Calle Villa.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> According to a 30 June 2012 news report, a fourth SITRAS route was to be added to serve the <a href="Canas_(Ponce)" class="mw-redirect" title="Canas (Ponce)">El Tuque</a> sector.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> The El Tuque route, scheduled to start service in September 2012,<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> started on 12 September 2012.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a>
