How to Get Around Southern California

 

There are several options for getting around Southern California. In San Diego, you can take MTS buses, trolleys, the "Coaster" train system, a taxi or rent a car. In the Los Angeles area, you can take the bus, shuttle, train or rent a car. A lot of Southern California visitors also find it convenient to drive from place to place.

 

Just remember Los Angeles and San Diego is a major metropolitian area, and subject to traffic jams during rush hours.

 

San Diego Transit   Unlike most big-city airports, San Diego International Airport (SAN) also know as Lindbergh Field is conveniently located close to the downtown area and to most of the major tourist attractions. Most of the popular San Diego attractions are clustered along a five mile wide strip near the ocean which is about 5 miles from downtown.

Los Angeles Transit   There are plenty of options for navigating Los Angeles, from taxis and rental cars to buses and trains. Though public transportation serves most of the major attractions, getting from one place to another can be a challenge. The city of Los Angeles was designed with the automobile in mind, as such renting a car seems to be the best way to get around.

Orange County Area Transit   OCTA. is the primary regional public transportation agency in Orange County and is reponsible for keeping Orange County moving with a fleet of buses, Metrolink commuter-rail service, the 91 Express Lanes toll facility and are also responsible for regulating taxi operations.

 

Note: Smoking is prohibited on all forms of public transport in California.
