BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN PUERTO RICO ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, FROM WWII TO PRESENT DAY:
AS RELATIONS BETWEEN USA & GERMANY DETERIORATED JUST BEFORE WORLD WAR II, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO IMPROVE THEIR DEFENSES IN PUERTO RICO AS THE KEY TO THE CARIBBEAN, & LAST STRONGHOLD PROTECTING THE PANAMA CANAL. THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS BUILT A ROAD ENCIRCLING THE ISLAND 2 MILES INLAND, TO AVOID NAVAL BOMBARDMENTS, AND FIGHTER PLANES TO LAND IF NEEDED, TODAY'S PR ROADS #1, 2 & 3. THAT WAY THEY COULD HAVE TROOPS MOVEMENTS FROM DIFFERENT BASES & FORTS AROUND THE TERRITORY WITHOUT USING THE TRAIN, WHOSE RAILS WERE MUCH CLOSER TO THE COAST.
BY THE EARLY 1950'S THE AMERICAN RAILROAD CO. ,CEASED TO EXIST, ITS TRAINS & WAGONS  BECOMING THE NEWEST ADDITIONS TO OTHER RAILROAD SYSTEMS, SUCH AS VENEZUELA AND COLOMBIA.
FROM THEN ON, MORE  HIGHWAYS  CRISS CROSSED THE ISLAND. THE "METROPOLITAN BUS AUTHORITY" ENTERED SERVICE, I GUESS, ON THE LATE 1940'S TO SERVE SAN JUAN, AND IN
ACTUALITY
COVERS ABOUT 6 OR 7 TOWNS NEIGHBORING THE METROPOLITAN AREA, SERVING HALF THE POPULATION OF THE ISLAND OF 4 MILLION PEOPLE. ALSO THE "TREN URBANO" RAPID TRANSIT TRAIN SYSTEM COMPLIMENTS THE METROPOLITAN AREA, WITH 17 STATIONS.

PACKAGING
Enviamos dentro de mica, cartón, cápsula, o protector acrílico, envuelto entre cartón grueso o burbuja, dentro de sobre o caja sellado con cinta adhesiva a los 4 lados. Haremos todo lo posible por resolver su problema y ganar su satisfacción. Algunas medalla o moneda quizá sea enviada en cápsula de acrílico como cortesía nuestra. Debido a que usted pagó por la medalla o moneda, y no por la cápsula, nosotros no somos responsables de reemplazar cápsulas recibidas rotas. Debido a que las medallas vienen con alguna que otra imperfección de fábrica, es normal que una medalla contenga algún rayacito o cantacito mínimo de lo cual no somos responsables. Las antiguedades que vendemos tienen imperfecciones por vejez, uso y desgaste, que pudieran no reflejarse en las fotos. Por eso sólo reemplazaremos o devolveremos dinero en caso de mercancía recibida gravemente dañada. Clientes que abusen con reclamaciones exageradas e infundadas serán bloqueados en el futuro.
Items are put inside plastic wrap, coin flip or capsule, foam insert, card protector, bank note jacket, FDC jacket, or similar protective method, then shipped padded within card board or bubble wrap inside an envelope or box. We’ll do everything we can to help you and get your 5 stars. Some medals or coins may be shipped inside plastic capsules as a courtesy of ours. Because you paid for a medal or coin, and not for an acrylic capsule, we are not to be held responsible over capsules received cracked or broken. Medals received from the factory will feature minor scratches or nicks over which we shouldn't be held responsible. Likewise, vintage items we sell may feature imperfections due to age, tear, and wear, which may not reflect on the photos. Due to this, we will only replace or provide refund on items received greatly damaged. Clients maliciously seeking to take advantage of the system by placing bogus or exaggerated claims will be blocked from making future business with us.
