What It Looks Like:
The San Diego Flyer buses are light orange with plane icons and the word “Flyer” across the side, and include the airport logo. Currently, the buses stop at Old Town Transit Center, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Passengers can be picked up and dropped off at transportation islands at each terminal. The airport authority will assess stops and intervals of service and make adjustments as need be.
