The San Diego County COASTER

Public transportation plays a vital role in our communities, from providing mobility for those without private vehicles to reducing overall environmental impact from cars. When the practicality of public transit is paired with scenic beauty, it makes for a truly unique experience for riders. A train ride on North County Transit District’s COASTER provides exactly that experience, with several enriching stops along the way. Operating in North County San Diego, the COASTER runs between the City of Oceanside and downtown San Diego. The San Diego Union Tribune provided the top 12 places to explore using the COASTER, as well as cost breakdowns, scheduling, rules and amenities. 

The locations included:
