Sorry, I haven't been paying attention very well.
Yes, the Flyer, AKA 992 is $2.25, sometimes you can get away with $2.00, depends on if the bus driver is paying attention.
It has many stops on Broadway and the water front/cruise terminal.
Trolley... usually $1.50 - $3.00 for local stuff, and a whopping $4.50 roundtrip to Tijuana. From the trolley station in TJ, only $5.00 cab ride to the main tourist drag with all the bars and pharmacies. Taking the Trolley to a ball game, Fashion Valley, and Old Town are cheap, fun ways to get there.
Taxicabs... from airport to downtown runs $6 - $9 depending on where you are. I personally hate the cabs here, very sketchy drivers, with very sketchy fares. The Flyer, AKA 992, goes straight through the middle of downtown, and everything of importance is only a few minutes walk from a bus stop.
The BA 777 at 4:40 is nice, but doesn't compare to the former 747 service. For those interested in plane spotting, maybe we could take a short trek (5 minute walk) from the Windsock to the parking garage that YOU WILL almost collide with when you land in San Diego!
While standing on the roof, the airplanes fly about 100 feet over your head, and has views straight down the runway. Be prepared to dodge security guards though.
Other than that, I think Captain Mike and SD1K have done a marvelous job of covering all the bases regarding this FT Get-Together. It promises to be loads of fun!
