SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Metropolitan Transit System and North County Transit District buses, trains and trolleys will operate on regular weekday schedules Monday, for the most part, according to the public transportation agencies.
The exception will be an increase in the NCTD's late-night Sprinter light-rail service, to accommodate Oceanside's annual Fourth of July Eve celebration. The event begins at 6 p.m. at El Corazon Park, 3302 Senior Center Drive, and concludes with a 9 p.m. fireworks show.
The NCTD said an extra westbound Sprinter will depart the Escondido Transit Center at 9:33 p.m. and arrive at the Rancho Del Oro Station at 10:13 p.m. to pick up revelers.
An eastbound train will leave the Oceanside Transit Center at 10:03 p.m. and arrive at Rancho Del Oro at 10:14 p.m., the NCTD said.
On Tuesday, NCTD buses will run on a Sunday schedule, and the Coaster train and Sprinter light-rail will operate on a Saturday schedule. According to the NCTD, the 11:30 p.m. eastbound Sprinter will be delayed one hour in Oceanside in order to pick up passengers connecting from the last northbound Coaster from San Diego.
