Rapid is a bus rapid transit system serving San Diego County, California. It is part of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS). The system mainly operates on the HOV lanes of Interstate 15 and 805. Freeway-level stations are located in the medians of Interstate 15, Park Boulevard, and East Palomar Street.
The system is administered, built and managed by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Planning for the initial "showcase" route began in 2002 with the commencement of an environmental review. It took 12 years and $238 million to get Rapid operational. Regular service began in summer 2014.
