San Diego "Coaster" train

[PRMoon]

I'm going to Oceanside california w/my friend to pick up a new car for him. We're flying into SAN and we're planing on taking the coastal train From San Diego to Oceanside. Does anyone know how far the train depot is from the air port? Is there a mass transit buss between the two or do we have to take a cab? I've been trying to call the number to the San Diego Mass transit system but the line seems to always be busy. Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody? I still can't get through to the number and the clock's tickin folks. There's got to be at least a few DJ's from San Diego on the board. Help a brotha out!

No that's not it

I'm not trying to go from sandiego to LA. I need to go from Sandiego to Ocean side. There's a mass transit train system that runs between the two areas. Amtrack is not mass transit (well it is but not city sponsored mass transit)

MTS 992 will take you from the airport to somewhere. So there is a bus, but not actually sure what route you need to take to get to where you're going. Try www.sdcommute.com

If you're going all the way to Oceanside, it's gonna take you like 4 hours....try a rented van, less expensive than a taxi.

Haha That's It!

I plugged 992 into the San Diego Bus schedule and it takes me right where I need to be!

4 hours?! It says If I take this route when I get to SD at 8:25 I can be at my final destination by 10:45. and it'll only cost me $5.74 for the whole thing.

If that's accurate I can probably make it back to vegas by 6 or7 if the traffic isn't too out of control.

Just wanted to say that this was the smoothest, most well timed trip I've ever taken.

My friend and I printed out a step by step manifest for the whole thing and we preicted we'd arrive back to vegas by 6:30pm. Our actual arrival time was 6:45.

That's a ride to the air port (automobile)
Made it to the boarding 5 mins before boarding time plane landed on time (plane)
arrived just as the 992 came to transport us (bus)
took the coaster train from san diego to ocean side (train)
puchased the supra in 45 mins, then drove back to las vegas only hitting traffic for about an hour max for the duration of the trip (automobile again)

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (and there was a bus too but it was a short trip) and it all worked to perection.
