May 2022 Update: Our schedules have changed
Dear visitor,
Thank you for considering CarlsbadtoLAX for your travel needs. Due to the latest effects of the pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our schedules to 1 round trip per day. We'll continue to provide safe and efficient travel on this schedule for the next 1-2 months, while at the same time we are planning a schedule increase in the summer.
Additionally, we have enabled a new stop at Carlsbad Premium Outlets. Please click here for more details.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
— CarlsbadtoLAX Team
