Route 992 and the San Diego Flyer link the airport to different transit hubs

Route 992 is a bus between Terminals 1 and 2 and Broadway/Kettner. The San Diego Trolley is San Diego's light rail and does not stop at the airport, so you need a bus or airport shuttle connection to reach it. Broadway/Kettner is across from Santa Fe Depot, where you can connect to Trolley, COASTER, Amtrak, and bus services.

The San Diego Flyer is a free airport shuttle from Old Town Transit Center. After you choose a hotel on this page that checks in 18-year-olds, you can decide whether you will connect through Broadway/Kettner on Route 992 or through Old Town Transit Center on the Flyer.

How the UC San Diego Blue Line and Green Line cover San Diego

The UC San Diego Blue Line and the Green Line are San Diego Trolley lines. The UC San Diego Blue Line serves UTC, Old Town, Little Italy, Downtown, South Bay, and the U.S.-Mexico border, and the Green Line serves SDSU, Snapdragon Stadium, Fashion Valley, Old Town, Little Italy, and Downtown.

Old Town, Little Italy, and Downtown are served by both lines, while the remaining destinations are split between them. You can use access to the line that serves your priority destinations as a way to compare hotels.
