By Public Transit
The Metropolitan Transit System MTS (http://www.sdmts.com/home1.asp) operates transit service in the city. There are a number of routes which serve Mid-City, but given the size and often sprawling nature of the region traveling by bus can be difficult. Plan your route carefully. Many routes that go through Mid-City terminate at the transit center at SDSU, which is also a stop along the San Diego Trolley (http://www.sdmts.com/Trol...) Green Line service from Old Town to the eastern suburbs.
By car
Given the size of the Mid-City, traveling by car is the most reliable way to get around. SR-94 passes east-west along the southern edge of the area, providing quick access to Downtown to the west and the suburbs to the east, while I-8 cuts across the northern edge of the area through Mission Valley. SR-15 and I-805 pass north-south through the area, crossing each other in Mid-City. Major east-west streets include El Cajon Boulevard, University Avenue, and in the northeastern part of the region Montezuma Road. Major north-south streets include Fairmount Avenue, Euclid Avenue, 54th Street, and College Avenue.
