BREEZE > Introduction
 
Welcome Aboard the Breeze
Times change. It's now cool to ride the bus. In fact, the bus isn't called the bus any longer. From now on, you can breeze around North County on... the BREEZE. With convenient routes and helpful drivers, the BREEZE is more than a creative name for the bus. The BREEZE actually describes how easy it now is to get around in North County. The BREEZE...Catch It!   The BREEZE can take you places... from Del Mar to San Clemente, Pala to Escondido and from Vista to Oceanside. Special BREEZE buses can take you to the Del Mar Fair (seasonal). And you can make connections to the COASTER, Metrolink, Amtrak, San Diego Transit and Trolley, the County Transit System and OCTA in San Clemente.


Service NCTD BREEZE buses carry passengers in the north San Diego County region from Oceanside to Del Mar, northeast to Escondido, east to Ramona; north to Fallbrook and to San Clemente in Orange County - including service for Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. The region is more than 1,020 square miles in area and has a population of more than 800,000 people.   Equipment NCTD has 160 vehicles in our bus fleet. We take pride in the quality of our vehicles, and proudly have one of the lowest break-down records in the industry. Nearly half the fleet is comprised of New Flyer 40-foot kneeling buses powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). In the last ten years, all of the BREEZE bus fleet has been replaced.


Attractions NCTD's BREEZE buses stop at or near major regional attractions, including the San Diego Wild Animal Park near Escondido (Route 386, M-F only) and Legoland in Carlsbad (Route 321, M-F only. Catch the 321 from the COASTER station at Carlsbad Village). Various coastal routes (especially Route 101) have stops at many of North County's beaches.
