Unveiling the Mystery: Weekday Warriors Rejoice!
Here's the skinny: Most MTS buses call it a quits around midnight, with a select few champions running the night shift until 1:00 am. So, whether you're a bar-hopping butterfly or a graveyard-shift essential worker, there's a good chance MTS can be your chariot home (just maybe ditch the disco ball for the ride).
Word to the wise: This is just a general guideline. Schedules can be as fluid as San Diego's craft beer scene, so be sure to double-check. Here are your trusty sidekicks:
- The MTS App: Download it, friend! It's your real-time map to late-night freedom (and avoids the awkward "Wait, is this the right bus?" shuffle). [Download the MTS app](insert appropriate app store link here).

Weekend Wind Down: Night Owls with Slightly Earlier Curfews
Don't worry, weekend warriors! The party doesn't stop completely. Weekend buses generally follow a similar schedule to weekdays, but with a slightly earlier bedtime (think midnight or 12:30 am instead of 1:00 am). So, you can still catch a ride after that late-night bonfire or karaoke session, but maybe ditch the double tequila shots for good measure.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Early Birds Get the Worm (and the Bus)
Just in case you're a superhuman with a 5:00 am wake-up call, fear not! Some dedicated routes start their engines as early as 4:30 am. Perfect for catching that sunrise flight or getting a head start on conquering San Diego.
