2.2 mi•South Park, Golden Hill, North Park

Many of you have heard about the Drink About shuttle on Wednesday nights. That shuttle is for free,…read moreand only once a month. Which for us lushes who love buses, is far too infrequent. Drum roll please!!! SD Park-2-Park shuttle is EVERY Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6pm-midnight on Thursdays, and 6pm-2am on Fridays and Saturdays!!! A one night pass is $5, weekend passes are $10! Maybe I'm too excited about these prices, but I think that they are a good deal--especially if you are in heels or don't want to get all sweaty walking, or if you dress "like" a hooker and don't want to get harassed, yet again, by the cops while on your way to the Whistlestop. This is especially great for us locals, who can walk over to 30th. But, it was really intended for those who drive to the area and can't find a place to park. The idea is to use the parking garage on 30th street in North Park, and then shuttle your heart out to various restaurants and bars in University Heights, Normal Heights, North Park and South Park. The shuttle runs the length of 30th street from Adams Ave. all the way down to Beech. It does a loop in University Heights for those who want to check out Small Bar, Lei Lounge etc. It even makes a stop at the Lafayette Hotel--hello Red Fox Room and Gilly's!!! Other details: -Party bus feel -Cozy seats -Staff are great--in fact they are the owners!!! -They have an actual schedule that they stick to--so you won't get stranded -Featured bars give discounts to those riding the shuttle Have fun!

Fantastic service!…read more Bought our tickets while waiting at one of the stops on my iPhone! What's not to love about a shuttle that takes you door to door from some of San Diego's best beer bars and amazing restaurants. This is a business that should thrive on 30th st. where family owned businesses have really taken hold. For 5 dollars, you can't go wrong. Do everyone a favor, ditch the stinky ass cabs (which end up costing more anyways) and support this business! I really can't give a better review of a business. This service is seriously one of the few the community should rally behind as it helps everyone. Keeps our drunken asses off the roads, helps the environment, and showcases some of the most insanely awesome bars on the planet (ok that might be a stretch...but you get the point). and all for a 5 dollar pass that works till 2 am?!?! Honestly people, get on board already! (see what i did there..?? I'm so clever)

Heads up: There's currently a lot of construction going on around this train station, so if you're…read moreubering here I would give yourself extra time as your car may need to circle back around or drop you off at a further point with a bit if a walk. The station itself is older but that gives it some charm. If you're coming here thinking you're going to have a whole bunch of food options, think again. There's one little kiosk with a guy selling a few sandwiches and coffee. Honestly though the kiosk guy was great, really friendly even early in the morning. I wasn't exactly sure how this whole thing worked since I'm not from here, but the attendant was nice and explained that my train would have a line up starting 20 minutes before boarding, then we'd all board together. If you're taking a train out of here I'd give yourself extra time and bring your own food (but stop by the kiosk guy for a coffee, he's a delight).

The staff here are rude; lacking basic customer service etiquette and accountability…read more I had a nasty fall on a large puddle of unattended water (no hazard sign). My phone screen is shattered and I have large, colorful bruises all along my knees and left thigh which appeared immediately. I was even bleeding a bit through my clothes. The janitor cleaned the water but was otherwise dismissive and lacking empathy even after seeing the damages. So, I asked him to apologize repeatedly for neglecting his duty . He adamantly refused, stating that "HE (personally) didn't spill the water" and "can't be everywhere at once" lol. The manager had the sense to apologize but was condescending. Talking over me the entire time, loudly defending the janitor within earshot of him. Mansplaining excuses that are NOT the customer's burden to understand such as: "we can't hire janitors 24/7" and "you said the spill looked like it was there for a while? Well, he ONLY clocked in 1hr ago and cleans the restrooms first". How is that my business lol? Any assigned duty during his shift is his responsibility. It's just common sense to apologize. Your internal staffing issues are also not a customer concern; you simply need more janitors or at least for them to prioritize tasks more efficiently. I've worked as a server and can't count the number of times I've had to fix and take accountability for a previous shift's mistake, btw. Annoying to listen to the manager trying to refute and twist all of my legitimate points in the janitor's defense. Yet, fully admitting that he needs to be admonished. Stop being your employee's boy. Teach basic respect. He even countered that this person is a "third party" hire when I pointed out that he still works for and therefore, represents Amtrak. Ridiculous LMFAO. Even ChatGPT finds them rude lol. No professionalism.

This app lets you get free rides in San Diego in the downtown area. I went to SD for a conference…read moreand this service was very impressive and super helpful. My only gripe is that I wish I would have known about it earlier, lol. The app was easy to use and book a ride. When I first loaded it up, I thought it wasn't working, but it was just that the ride window had not started yet (it starts taking rides at 7am, and I was looking at 6:50a). I was able to book a ride immediately and it gave me a waiting time of about 3 minutes. The wait time was not entirely accurate, as it ended up being closer to 10 minutes. But, once I was picked up, it was smooth sailing. I even had my luggage with me, and while it was tricky, I was able to fit it all in the vehicle. Driver was super friendly, too. Because this is totally free, and worked for my needs, I'm giving it five stars. But this is not a good service if you are in a hurry or are particular about how you want to travel. It was an open-air vehicle, which meant no windows and no A/C. We also stopped to pick someone else up so you won't necessarily get a direct ride. If that's important to you, you should get an Uber or Lyft instead. It also does NOT go to the airport, so you will need a rideshare for that. Also, I used this service in the early morning. I can't speak for during peak times. But for back and forth from the convention center in the early morning, it was perfect. And since everything else in SD is so expensive, I'll take whatever savings I can get.

We went to Catalina for three days and attempted to use this app for ridesharing. A few times it…read moreworked out fine but most of the time it was horrendous. One time we waited 20 minutes for a ride, and then as we saw the golf cart approaching, instead of turning right and picking us up 20 feet away from them, they turned left and then appeared to have taken some other ride and then it said it was going to be seven more minutes before they got back to us. Another time it said 22 minutes and three stops and it took a long time for it to eventually make it down to eight minutes and one stop, way more than 14 minutes. And then apparently they took other rides in front of us because it shot back up to 17 minutes and three stops again. In the end, after 15 minutes of waiting, the wait time was only five minutes shorter. I cannot actually even count how many times we attempted to take a rides with them and it took so much longer than it initially said that we had to cancel the ride and just walk. This was especially disappointing because we had some seniors in our party with mobility issues and walking was a real challenge for them. Shame on this app for wasting peoples time and giving such poor Customer Service, especially to elderly people. Fortunately, for our last two necessary rides on the island, we discovered that there was a taxi service and we were able to take that. It was a little more money, but way worth it. They arrived in less than five minutes and took us right where we needed to go, no stops and ridesharing involved.

The pronto machines can be a little wonky when trying to purchase a pass, however, there's always a staff member ready to help at the transit center. The staff take their jobs seriously both during small and large events. Serving as the main hub, there's a lot of people walking around here. Somehow the staff consistently keep up with the needs of the passengers.

It's come along way. But still smells pretty funky along the trolley station here. Security isn't very active here which I feel like the transit security should be. Instead, I saw 7 or 8 of them in a corner talking and standing around. I personally don't feel safe at this stop. There tends to always be sketchy individuals lurking here. I feel like I need to constantly scan my surroundings when I wait for the trolley here. There is a market that's open right here which is good can grab a drink or snack, etc. The trolley runs pretty frequent. It is centered for the blue, the orange line and the Greenline. But with that being said I really do try to avoid this stop if I can for those reasons.
