Is it safe to do? I assume Old Town is, given the common sense the average person could be expected to possess. What about the rest of the city, particularly the area around the Ritz-Carlton? What about the city busses? I tend to be adventurous (but not to the point of endangering myself or others) while my husband is a worry-wort. He's already told me I am not to take the city bus to Old Town and to take a cab instead? If the bus is perfectly safe (is it??) at 75 cents, why on earth would I take a cab? Being alone in a cab with a stranger in an unknown city is actually more unnerving to me than being on a public bus. Thanks.

Taking buses in San Juan is no different than using buses in any other major city. People use buses in San Juan all the time. Traveling by bus between Old San Juan and the area around the Ritz Carlton is relatively easy, it just takes time due to traffic and making stops along the way.
It doesn't matter if you are in a in unknown city or "back home", if taking a cab driven by a stranger is unnerving for you and you are more comfortable riding in a bus (again driven by someone you don't know) there's no reason why you shouldn't choose the transportation option that you are most at ease with.
