In its first few weeks, the city of San Diego’s free Beach Bug shuttle in Pacific Beach has served more than 9,000 people.
“We are experts in first to last mile micro-transit, so we connect to other forms of transportation and fill in those gaps that fixed routes probably can’t do,” Mark Iannon, a partner success manager atData collected from the shuttles in Pacific Beach so far indicate that the average wait time is 10 minutes. NBC 7 spoke with a shuttle driver, Aaron Tredo, who said that in his experience, the service has been well-received among riders.
While the service is free for now, Iannon told NBC 7 that it will cost riders $2.50 starting in October. “Part of the two-year pilot is going to be to really understand ridership, interest, demand and lessons learned from this pilot to explore how to bring this to other parts of the city,” Ayala said.
