I-15 MTS Express Bus

Another exciting option is to use an MTS Express Bus for a stress-free, quick trip that leaves the driving to someone else! Read, nap, and relax as you travel to downtown San Diego and back.

The MTS Premium Express Bus service currently offers five bus routes that use the I-15 Express Lanes to transport riders from North County locations to their destinations in downtown San Diego and Sorrento Mesa. Transit stations and Park & Ride lots are located along I-15 and are connected to the Express Lanes via direct access ramps. These direct access ramps allow the MTS Premium Express Bus and other Express Lanes users to bypass general purpose lanes and enter directly onto the Express Lanes. Express Bus riders, carpoolers, and vanpoolers can take advantage of additional parking within the transit stations at Sabre Springs/Peñasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, and Del Lago stations, with an additional transit station opening in 2014 at Hillery Drive in Mira Mesa. 

Additionally, a new network of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes will launch in 2014. Comfortable new buses will be boarded at the four transit stations adjacent to the Express Lanes, as well as a new station to open in 2014 (Miramar College Transit Station) near Mira Mesa Blvd., and at two additional BRT stations along I-15 in the Mid-City area at El Cajon Blvd. and University Ave.
