By Public Transit
San Diego's public transit outfit, the Metropolitan Transit System MTS (http://www.sdmts.com/home1.asp), operates Route 30 which serves much of the community. It connects to Pacific Beach Old Town and Downtown to the south and UCSD and University City to the east. It stops within walking distance of many of La Jolla's attractions, such as the Cove and the Birch Aquarium. North County Transit District's (http://www.gonctd.com/ind...) Route 101 serves University City and UCSD and runs north on Torrey Pines Road and up the coast of Northern San Diego County, connecting to Torrey Pines State Park and other destinations around there. In addition, a number of bus routes serve the UCSD campus.
