The Wheelchair Accessible Electric Shuttle
Though the pilot program is coming to a close, the voyage in Pacific Beach may not be over forever. Circuit will continue to work with the city to provide transportation services to San Diegans and vacationers alike.
Whether the Beach Bug will return or if another service will replace it is currently uncertain, but everyone involved remains committed to exploring possible solutions that address issues like transportation equity and climate concerns.

Shaping the Future of Transportation in San Diego
While Circuit and the City of San Diego plan for the future, they’re requesting feedback from riders who used the Beach Bug while it was in operation.
To throw my hat in the ring as a PB resident, I’m hoping that if the service returns, it will run a bit later into the evening, especially on weekends.
Previously service ended at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 8pm on other days. This meant that when I took my family to a Padres game at PETCO PARK, when I got back in the PB area around 10:30pm, I was out of luck.

A Call for Feedback
Have your own suggestions? Circuit is requesting community input, so send an email to SustainabilityMobility@sandiego.gov to share your experience with the Beach Bug and potential improvements.
Hopefully, the Beach Bug (or an even better service) will soon ride again!
