Rapid: A New Level of Service
Rapid is an exciting new level of transit service that provides high frequency, limited-stop trips – all day, every day. The Rapid
network has expanded to offer service between SDSU and Downtown, so you can enjoy One Sweet Ride to more destinations!
When can I ride Rapid 215?
Rapid 215 operates seven days a week from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Rapid 215 runs every 10 minutes during weekday rush hours,
every 15 minutes during most non-rush hours and weekends, and every 30 minutes after hours on weekdays and weekends.
Where can I go on Rapid 215?
Rapid 215 provides a one-seat (no transfers) ride between SDSU and Downtown San Diego, via College Avenue, El Cajon
Boulevard, and Park Boulevard. This route serves some of the most culturally vibrant and ethnically diverse communities in
San Diego, including North Park, City Heights, and the College Area, as well as key destinations such as Balboa Park, the San
Diego Zoo, Naval Hospital, City College, Horton Plaza, and Santa Fe Depot.
The City Heights stop at El Cajon Boulevard and I-15 serves as a transfer point between Rapid 215 and Rapid 235,
enabling Mid-City area residents to easily get to job centers along the I-15 corridor. This connection provides easy access
between Mid-City and stops in Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa, Sabre Springs, Rancho Bernardo, Del Lago, and Escondido.

How does Rapid 215 speed travel?
Rapid 215 travels on dedicated lanes on Park Boulevard between University Avenue and El Cajon Boulevard.
On El Cajon Boulevard, Rapid improves reliability by taking advantage of a new transit signal priority system and
synchronized traffic lights that extend the green light to allow Rapid to quickly cross key intersections.
Additional time savings are realized between Santa Fe Depot and the San Diego Zoo, as transfers will no longer be
required.
How much does Rapid 215 cost?
Rapid 215 can save you money compared to the cost of driving a car and paying for parking. Rapid 215 is $2.25
for a one-way fare or $5 for a 1-Day Pass that enables transfers to other Rapid routes, MTS bus services, and the
Trolley. A monthly or 30-Day transit pass is $72 for adults; $36 for youth; and $18 for seniors (60+), disabled, and
Medicare.
What makes Rapid special?
