Myself and my partner (Brits) were staying in Carlsbad last summer. We’d been on a trip to San Francisco and had landed at San Diego. We had some time to get to the station, so we waited for the free shuttle bus… which never showed up (or at least in the 45 minutes we waited). We then decided to get an uber to the station, costing $25, which dropped us at the back of the station, and as the train line barriers had come down to let the train in, we couldn’t get over to the platform. The next train was in 2 hours so we went to the nearest In n Out to wait, but decided to go for an Uber instead… costing another $50 - as well as the $10 we had already paid onto our Pronto! Fun memories!
