OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) — The North County Transit District is scaling back its services starting Sunday afternoon since Hilary's rain and wind will start affecting San Diego County.
"NCTD’s primary objective in reducing service is to ensure the safety of our customers and personnel and to protect District assets," the press release says.
NCTD says it will provide mutual aid to Amtrak and Metrolink passengers by allowing them to ride any COASTER train on Sunday, since those rails have also reduced service for Sunday.
NCTS canceled the COASTER trains' last two roundtrips between Oceanside and Santa Fe Depot. Customers impacted by the trips can access GoNCTD.com/Assistfor assist discounted rideshare vouchers for Uber or Lyft.
They are valid for a limited time during the active emergency, according to NCTS.

Northbound departures from Santa Fe Depot:

The first trips for SPRINTER trains will leave the Oceanside Transit Center and Escondido Transit Center at 6:33 a.m. Trains will leave 33 minutes past the hour every hour from those locations following that.
