Public Transportation from UCSD to LA - Page 2

When going from SD to LA, I always take the free bus to Solana Beach and Amtrak it to Union Station or whatever.

Also... be careful. The area around USC is scary

Personally, I'd go to Solana Beach. The bus ride all the way to Oceanside is kind of a drag, and you're not saving that much money. That said, pretty much everyone goes to Solana Beach so its packed on holidays and such.

(The trick there is that when you are getting back from the train in Solana Beach, go to the previous bus stop, its not that far of a walk, if its really busy because buses fill up.)

That said, I also drive to LA about once a month (818 area)...

@eric884 : what ucsd_ucla_dad said is true, I also suggest that you look at other airports that are closer than lax, there's irvine and long beach. And if you're looking to save money then you'd probably save more flying from SD considering the Amtrak fee ($50 round) and the cab fee that you'll take between Union Station and LAX, not to mention the time wasted!
x3anna.. I go to USC from La Jolla about once or twice a month. PM if you wanna catch a ride and split gas.
