The Coaster is a commuter train that takes travelers from Oceanside, California to downtown San Diego. The coaster train has one hundred and twenty-six services running each week, and offers expanded service during the spring and summer months. The train offers an alternative to those who do not want to travel on congested highways and those who want to reduce their carbon footprint.

The aim of the train is to improve air quality by reducing the number of vehicles on the highway, and it intends to provide passengers with several mobility options by offering them access to other trains and busses. The route takes passengers along a 41-mile coastal rail system that is broken up into several different zones. The fare will change depending on how many zones you wish to travel through, and if you are a regular commuter, you can take advantage of their program that guarantees a ride home during business hours.
