Planning group transportation in National City
Where pickups start. National City requests most often begin in Downtown National City, Mile of Cars, Westside National City and Paradise Hills (adjacent). Give us a street address or a named lot entrance rather than the neighborhood — drive time and where the bus can actually sit both hang on the exact curb.
Where we drop. Destinations named for National City include Westfield Plaza Bonita, Pepper Park, Kimball Park, National City Aquatic Center and Mile of Cars corridor. Each one loads differently. Ask the venue where a bus can wait, and agree a meeting corner in case the curb is taken when you come out.
When the calendar tightens. Local calendars around National City Host Lions Club 4th of July Carnival, National City Cars and Culture Festival, A Kimball Holiday Celebration and National City Community Market concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
