Train Station Transfers — Santa Fe Depot

Meeting a train at Santa Fe Depot

On Kettner Boulevard downtown, five minutes from the airport and the convention centre.

Worth knowing. During Comic-Con the Depot and the trolley are the only reliable way into the Gaslamp. We meet trains on the Kettner side.

Rail schedules slip. We track the service by number, hold thirty minutes of complimentary wait from the actual arrival, and — at the larger stations — meet you on the concourse with a name board rather than leaving you to find a car in a pickup lane you have never used.

Why the train is often the better leg

On the Northeast Corridor and the Florida Brightline route, rail frequently beats flying door to door once security and taxi queues are counted. The weak link is the last mile at each end, and replacing that with a chauffeured car — booked at a fixed fare, tracked to the arrival — is the whole point of this service.

Onward in San Diego

San Diego International is three miles from downtown, which is unusual for a city of this size and makes airport work here genuinely quick. The biotech and life sciences cluster on the Torrey Pines mesa — La Jolla, UTC, Sorrento Valley — is where most of the weekday corporate volume sits, twenty minutes north of downtown.
