Krystal Ayala, curb space and parking program manager for the City Department of Sustainability and Mobility, noted early results indicate the shuttle has succeeded in reducing demand for parking while making it more convenient to take public transit to the beach.
As PBTC eyes the future of our beach town, perhaps the solution to ongoing problems like traffic, parking, and pollution can already be found with these shuttles.”
LOVE SHUTTLE DRIVERS
It is so much more affordable than an Uber, it’s cleaner and safer than the City bus, and the drivers have perhaps the best customer service I’ve seen in years. This is also true for the large population of students that reside in PB attending SDSU, UCSD, and even USD.”Īdded Nieto: The Beach Bug also provides a cleaner, safer, and friendlier experience than most other forms of transportation. “As a student, I am now able to get from my front door in PB all the way to the SDSU campus using only public transit. “This has not just been some public policy implemented in the community it’s an absolute game changer,” he said. Nieto noted the Beach Bug also provides an essential transportation connection for local students to area schools.
“The Beach Bug sought to solve this issue, and the PBTC couldn’t be more happy with the results.” “When the Balboa Avenue Transit Center was constructed, it was supposed to connect PB with the rest of the City, but it sadly fell short of this goal due to the isolation and distance of its location,” he said.
LOVE SHUTTLE DOWNLOAD
If folks haven’t tried it yet, download the app and see why it is a great choice to get around town.”Ĭharlie Nieto, Pacific Beach Town Council president, said the Beach Bug is providing an important link between the new trolley stop and the beach community. These are the mobility choices that enhance our daily lives while preserving the environment.”Īdded LaCava: “As we leave the summer season, the Beach Bug will no doubt continue its popularity as folks get around town and commuters and visitors use it to cover that ‘last mile’ between PB and the Balboa Avenue Transit Center. “Locals and visitors quickly realized its value in getting around PB without a car or looking for a parking space. “Serving more than 11,000 riders since its launch this summer, the Beach Bug is an unqualified success,” he said. Councilmember Joe LaCava, whose District 1 now includes PB, said the bug has fulfilled expectations.
