California (IRL)/Transit Tour

<< Return to California (IRL) Though California's transit network isn't as dense as those in other countries, it is possible to cross the state without a car. This Transit Tour, inspired by a Lonely Planet book, originates in San Diego and winds its way up the coast towards Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. It would be faster if there was a more efficient railway network in California, but at least we have this.

Day 0

• Arrive in San Diego.
• MTS bus 923 to 2nd Ave Lofts Downtown.
• Food options include Morning Glory for breakfast, Hodad's Downtown for lunch, and GARAGE Kitchen + Bar for dinner, all of which are within walking distance.
• Oh, and did I mention Petco Park is sorta within walking distance too? If you want to relax while the Padres are playing, that's perfectly fine by me.

Day 1

• Walk to County Center/Little Italy Station
• San Diego Trolley Green Line to Old Town Transit Center (depart 8:15 AM)
• MTS bus 30 to La Jolla Tide Pools (depart 8:28 AM)
