Beachgoers are getting ready to catch The Beach Bug — San Diego’s new, all-electric shuttle that will connect the Balboa Transit Station to Pacific Beach while traveling up to 25 mph.
Riders will be able to hail a vehicle from the 4-car fleet via an app or phone call. Shuttles began operations on July 12, and can now be used by travelers.
When The Beach Bug launches, it will begin with a 3-month free pilot program. After that, riders will pay $2.50 for all-day access.

- Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday: 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Thursday and Friday: 7 a.m.-10 p.m.
- Saturday: 9 a.m.- 10 p.m.
- Sunday: 9 a.m.-7 p.m.
