Read about the mass transit options that serve UC San Diego.

UCSD Bus Zone

Buses in the UCSD Bus Zone come directly to campus (except Hillcrest). Staff, faculty, and students with a free UCSD Bus Zone sticker on their campus ID ride free on these bus routes only.

Stickers are available at the campus parking office or Hillcrest parking office. The sticker expires on June 30 each year and must be renewed.
