Coronado’s popular free summer shuttle with San Diego’s Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) will run through Sept. 7 for its 14th year after seeing a record season in 2025. 

Costs for the program are projected to be around $147,000 with some tweaks to the operations.

The city opted for smaller 35-foot mini buses instead of the typical 40-foot buses. The shuttle service started on June 6 and will go through Sept. 7. Three wrapped Coronado buses will run every 20 minutes all week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The shuttle buses run along the bus route from the Shores and City Hall to downtown and to the ferry landing and the Marriott Resort & Spa.
