Public mass transportation
San Diego is served by the trolley, bus, Coaster and Amtrak. The trolley (Trolley Map) primarily serves downtown and surrounding urban communities, Mission Valley, east county and coastal south bay. A planned Mid-Coast line will operate from Old Town to University City along the 5 Freeway. There are also plans for a "Silver line" to expand trolley service downtown.
The Amtrak and Coaster trains currently run along the coastline and connect San Diego with Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura via MetroLink. There are three Amtrak stations in San Diego, in Sorrento Valley, Old Town, and Union Station (downtown). Additional Coaster train stops and services will be added in 2007 and beyond.[citation needed]
The bus is available along almost all major routes, however a large number of bus stops are concentrated in central San Diego. Typical wait times vary from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the location and route. Trolleys arrive every 5 to 15 minutes (depending on time of day). Ferries are also available every half hour crossing San Diego Bay to Coronado.
