[pct-l] FW: Bus Service to Campo and Scissors Crossing changing

[jenny at seawaterfoundation.org (Jenny Holliday)]

This was posted on the PCT2006 Yahoo Group today:


Schedules and fares are changing to/from these two locations as of 
January 30, 2006. See the announcement at 
http://www.sdcommute.com/documents/T1RuralChanges.0106.pdf 

The 894 bus, which most hikers take between El Cajon and Campo, is 
cutting back to three runs a day Mon-Fri. Weekend service is being 
discontinued. Departures from El Cajon will be at 9:00AM, 4:00OPM, and 
5:10PM. Most hikers who fly into San Diego in the AM will probably take 
the 4:00PM run which will put them at the Trading Post in Campo about 
5:50PM, too late to do much more than scoot down to the border and back 
before dark. One-way fares are increasing from $3 to $8-10. (One of 
these runs will also go to Morena - don't know which one).

The 888 bus to Morena/Campo will run a single round trip on Mondays and 
Fridays only leaving El Cajon at 4:10PM and arriving in Campo at 5:57PM. I
believe this bus drops you off at Cameron Corners instead of the 
Trading Post leaving you a 1-2 mile walk to Campo proper. Take the 894 
bus instead unless you want a burger and fries from the stand in 
Cameron Corners.

Scissors Crossing to Julian (Route 891) is moving from Saturdays to 
Thursdays with only one round trip. It looks like you will still be 
able to do the round trip in one day, but it will be an all day affair.

If you are planning to take any of these buses, check SDCommute for 
updated schedules just before you leave for the border.
