Public transport in local SJU area is fine.

Thanks.
However, from SJU to Arecibo, is rather erratic or non existent. They have what is called "publico" which basically is a van that picks up people in a central area and drops off on another. Unfortunately, for your options of SJU to Observatory, public transport or "publico" is not an option.
I suggest renting a car, or see if there is a tour that covers an obsevatory trip. You can also take a taxi, but that will be VERY $$$$$$$$$$$
