The San Diego region is full of places to go and ways to get
there. Buses, trains and trolleys criss-cross the region, making travel
accessible and economical for commuters. Transit services in the metropolitan
San Diego area are provided by Chula Vista Transit, National City Transit, San
Diego Transit, and San Diego Trolley.
Overall coordination of these
services is the responsibility of the Metropolitan Transit Development Board
(MTDB). Together, these organizations make up the Metropolitan Transit System
(MTS). The North County Transit District (NCTD) operates the Coaster commuter
train and North County bus routes. A coordinated effort between these operators
allows riders to use the same monthly passes on a variety of routes, transfer
from one line to another, get information from a central telephone center, and
travel around San Diego easily, comfortably and safely.
Riders can
easily transfer between the Bus and the Trolley. Special seating areas on every
Bus, Trolley and Coaster train are designated for disabled and senior riders,
who are welcome to ride at a reduced fare.
Bus and Trolley routes are
scheduled cooperatively to make getting where you're going as convenient for you
as possible. Telephone information center is a regional one, with Bus, Trolley
and Coaster schedules throughout the county. Just one phone call and you'll have
the information you need.
