Free Summer Shuttle I 2024
Coronado FREE Summer Shuttle
Take the Free Summer Shuttle around town. It's quick and easy, from the beach to the bay, and everywhere in between! The City of Coronado's Summer Shuttle provides free rides for residents and visitors alike in Coronado weekdays during the summer. Four San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) buses run along the existing Route 904 around the downtown Village area. The Coronado Summer Shuttle is operated by MTS and the program is funded by the City of Coronado and through a community partnership with Discover Coronado which underwrites the cost to design and installs the colorful exterior bus wrapping on the shuttle busses.
The Free Summer Shuttle buses run along the bus route from the Shores and City Hall to downtown and to the Ferry Landing and Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa.
- Summer Shuttle Runs: July 1 - September 2, 2024
- Seven Days a Week

Bikes on the Shuttle Buses
- The shuttle buses are equipped with bike racks, for two bikes each. If the bike rack is full, riders will have to wait for the next bus.
- Bringing bikes on board is not allowed, as they are large, take up space that could be used for other passengers, and could not be strapped in, potentially pose a safety concern during braking or while maneuvering inside a full bus.
