General Information
Try an alternative to driving and enjoy the comfort and convenience of more than 20 COASTER trains linking North County and San Diego every weekday and 10 trains on Saturdays (the COASTER does not operate regular service on Sundays).

Each COASTER train is at least five cars in length, holding more than 1,000 passengers per train. In July, 2008 NCTD will begin running select peak commute trains with six cars to increase passenger capacity and comfortability.

Whether its commuting to work or reaching recreational activities, the COASTER is a great way to save on gas and eliminate the stress of driving on clogged freeways. From your comfortable seat enjoy the coastal lagoons, Pacific Ocean and inland canyons, while others sit in their cars on Interstate-5. Get on board the COASTER today!
