Public Transportation to Irvine/San Diego?

<p>What's the best way to get to Irvine and San Diego through public transportation from the UCLA campus? If anybody else is interested, I want to find a way to go see +44 in San Diego Oct. 13.</p>

<p>I heard of some free UC shuttle that goes from the UCLA campus to the UCI campus... does anybody know anything about this?</p>

<p>And off topic a bit... but do the meal swipes reset on every Sunday? Do they reset before the 12-2am swipe time or before breakfast for tht day?</p>

<p>i might head to SD on the 13th ... 20 bucks ill give you a ride, you need to arrange a pick up form Del mar/carmel valley area. </p>

<p>i head to san diego on some of the weekends as i am from there, but i would be able to tell you closer to the date.</p>

<p>the other way to get to SD is take the coaster, its fastest, but still slow, its about 3 hours or more.... and i belive about 35$ bucks? not sure on the price though.</p>

<p>metrolink to irvine, i don't believe it goes to san diego though. you can try amtrak surfliner for that.</p>

<p>Amtrak is your best bet.</p>

<p>Metrolink goes all the way to Oceanside where you can pick up the Coaster to San Diego. Amtrak is probably faster because there are fewer stops than Metrolink/Coaster.</p>

<p>vanpool....6 bucks one way to Irvine</p>

<p>Do you have to go to Union Station downtown to hop on the Metrolink or Amtrak (headed to Oceanside/San Diego) or is there a better way?</p>

<p>there's metrolink stops in glendale or commerce, but getting there might be a problem. i had trouble getting to union station from westwood as well, and had to transfer. i think there's a commuter express that goes to union though, with limited hours.</p>

<p>Not really, I just catch the 20/20 and get off at the Wilshire/Western stop and then hop on the subway to Union Station. </p>

<p>I was once able to get there is about 45min but it usually takes me an hour.</p>

<p>Would it be unrealistic to get to SD through public transportation in about 3 hours? My last class on friday ends at 3:45pm and the show is at 7:00pm... is my best bet to find someone with a car who can take me instantly?</p>

<p>3 hours w/ public transportation would be cutting it pretty close...a ride would be better, timewise.</p>
