SAN DIEGO, CA –  The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority announced the launch of the San Diego Flyer, a free electric shuttle bus service powered by Endera electric shuttles, that will transport passengers between the San Diego International Airport (SAN) and Old Town Transit Center.

 

Through their partnership with ACE Parking and the San Diego International Airport, Endera supplied a fleet of 6 fully electric shuttles which will be in use for a new service called The San Diego Flyer.Endera’s Shuttles are powered by 100 percent sustainable energy through charging stations located on airport property. Endera electric shuttles are equipped with many rider-friendly features including air conditioning, luggage racks, and an ADA ramp.

 

“ACE is excited to utilize Endera’s fully eclectic, zero emission shuttles to power the inception of the San Diego Flyer shuttle service, which will seamlessly connect travelers and employees to San Diego International Airport from Old Town station. This is a critical development step for San Diego’s regional public transportation infrastructure and Endera helps ACE deliver transportation solutions to SAN that align with the airport’s commitment to sustainability and Clean Transportation Plan.” Morgan Leslie, Managing Director, ACE Parking.

Currently, the buses stop at the Old Town Transit Center, Terminal 1, and Terminal 2. Passengers can be picked up and dropped off at transportation islands at each terminal.
