UCLA Travel Options to San Diego

<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I've been at UCLA for a couple months now, but my brother and a good friend of mine just started at UC San Diego, and so I was wondering what my options are to get between the two universities on a regular basis, either every weekend or every other weekend. I would leave LA Friday afternoon and return to UCLA at some point on Sunday, ideally. The Amtrak Surfliner seems way too expensive for what I'd be able to dish out right now (UCLA only offers a 20% discount), and on the opposite end I haven't heard the best things about Greyhound in LA as far as buses go. Not only that but the only passes I can find are for the regular LA Metro and not Metrolink, there was a $50 per quarter option that would've been terrific on one of the Amtrak trains…</p>

<p>So in that case, what is the cheapest way(s) I would be able to travel between Westwood and La Jolla on my given schedule, and what are all the options that UCLA has in terms of train passes or discounts large enough to make weekly commuting practical? Thanks!</p>

<p>metrolink goes to oceanside if that works.</p>
