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

Additional Details

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?
