Getting around in San Diego, CA

The best way to get around in San Diego is considered to be by car. However, the city can be quite intimidating because of its size, and due to the high gas prices, getting around by car can get very expensive. If you're in town for a day or two, the best option, as well as the cheapest one, is the San Diego Trolley, which runs through the most beautiful and scenic areas in the city.

If you plan to drive yourself, to San Diego, this is what you should know: the city can be easily accessed by using any of the 3 major interstate roads - the 5, 8 and 15 Freeways. There are also additional freeways that cross the county, making it easy for people to access various areas in Sand Diego. However, you should reconsider getting behind the wheel, during daytime, because the traffic is frequently congested during the day.

The public transportation service is provided by MTS (Metropolitan Transit System), which operates bus service to almost anywhere, in the county. However, the service is sparse and infrequent in several areas, and the weakest points are suburbs-to-suburbs travel service and links between some of the individual coast communities. Downtown, the bus service is considered to be efficient, with buses running every 15 minutes, especially between downtown San Diego and several major tourist destinations, nearby.
