Means of transport San Diego

Greyhound offers the most extensive intercity bus service in North America. San Diego is no exception: the city is well connected to the rest of the country, especially to Los Angeles, which takes about 3 to 4 hours to reach, depending on traffic. You can easily reach other states, such as Nevada (10 to 12 hours to Las Vegas), Arizona (about 14 hours to Phoenix) and Utah (about 20 hours to Salt Lake City). Unsurprisingly, the fares are cheaper than the train.

Between its sixty or so trolley stations and its hundred or so bus routes, San Diego is relatively easy to visit by public transport. The Metropolitan Transit System website is extremely clear: you'll find timetables and itineraries for every line. You can pay with cash or buy a Pronto card, which is more economical for repeated use. Once you've loaded your card with cash, you can simply swipe it at the terminals provided.

Every day, Flagship ferries leave Broadway Pier for Coronado about every hour - and vice versa. While it's entirely possible to get to this charming little island town by road - via Coronado Bridge - the ride is particularly pleasant on the water. Allow about 15 minutes and don't forget your sunscreen and a jacket. Also, note that bicycles are allowed on board at no extra charge. You can also rent one upon arrival.

Like the SNCF in France, the U.S. National Railroad serves the entire country. It crosses most of the California coast, from San Diego to San Francisco via Los Angeles, and several cities in the South, such as San Clemente, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton. An interesting alternative to the car, especially since the trip is breathtaking on the section that starts in the municipality of Del Mar and ends at the entrance to Dana Point, since the train runs along the ocean. All this for relatively affordable prices.
