In the last few weeks, I have had a number of inquiries about various options for commuting to Old Town Plaza. This is great news because we do have so many options for commuting here it's really amazing.
1. COASTER/San Diego Trolley - arguably the best option for getting to Old Town Plaza if you live along the Coast/I-5 Corridor anywhere south of Oceanside. Personally, I live in Carmel Valley and take the COASTER frequently from the Sorrento Valley Station. The total commute time for me, door-to-door is about 31 minutes - 21 of those minutes are used on the actual train ride itself.
As for the San Diego Trolley, this is an excellent option if you live in Downtown, Mission Valley, East County or Santee.
Both the San Diego Trolley and the COASTER stop at the Old Town Transit Center.

2. Bicycle - another fantastic option. Personally, I use this option once a week or so. When riding a bike, you have the option of riding it to a COASTER train or San Diego Trolley and then riding your bike from Old Town Transit Center to Old Town Plaza. For our resident hard-chargers, you can always ride all the way in! We have a bike rack secured behind the gates of the P1 Parking Garage near the Building A elevator landing.
3. Scooter - arguably the best option for those customers of ours who live in any of the great urban neighborhoods located close to Old Town Plaza. North Park, South Park, Mission Hills, Hillcrest, Banker's Hill, Little Italy, Downtown, Mission Valley and Pt. Loma. Matt bought a Vespa for his commute to Mission Hills. Between the fuel economy (85 mpg), acquisition cost ($4500 MSRP) and ease of storage/parking, the scooter has no rival in terms of utility and efficiency.
4. Ride Share/Carpool - traditionally a fantastic option if you live near other co-workers in your office who have similar schedules. However, we all know how likely that is...
5. Car - well, this doesn't really need an explanation.
