DD 20 Bus Schedule at a GlanceWe have chartered buses to take DD20 attendees back and forth between the two conference hotels (the Del Mar Inn and Stratford Inn in Del Mar) and the campus, each of the six days of the conference. The campus locations for the conference are AP&M (Short course, Sunday) and SDSC (main DD20 conference, Monday-Friday). On Sunday there will be a single bus going from both conference hotels; the other five days there will be a separate bus doing from each hotel to campus and back. (NOTE: If you are not staying at one of the two conference hotels, you will need to arrange your own transportation to the conference; see the practical information page for options.) Although the capacity of each bus is large enough to take everyone from their respective hotel to SDSC and back in a single trip, we have arranged for each of the two buses to make a second pass (asbout 30 minutes later) to pick up any late risers in the morning, and anyone who misses the first bus back to the hotels in the afternoon; see the schedule below for the "second run" times. The first run of each of the two buses in the morning will arrive at SDSC about 15 minutes prior to the first talk of the day. The first run of each of the two buses in the evening will depart SDSC about 15-30 minutes after that last talk of the day (depending in the length of the sessions that particular day; see the schedule below). For the two evening events (the small Plenary Speaker dinner Tuesday evening, and the large DD20 Conference Banquet Thursday evening), the bus timetables are a bit different; see the schedule below. If you miss the last bus to campus and are stuck at the hotel, your best options are to either to take the city bus (there is information on the practical information webpage) or to talk to the front desk at the hotel and get their help with a Taxi or other transport. The hotels are sometimes willing to let you catch one of their shuttles to campus. If you miss the last bus to the hotels and are stuck on campus, your best options are again to either take the city bus, or call a Taxi. Phone numbers for both of the conference hotels and the two taxi services we often use can be found on the practical information webpage. If you need a taxi ride from SDSC to one of the two conference hotels (or elsewhere), instruct the taxi driver to pick you up at the intersection of Voigt Drive and Hopkins Lane. Catching the Bus from the Hotels to UCSD (SDSC/Faculty Club/AP&M): The buses have difficulty pulling into the parking lots of the two hotels due to their size; the bus drivers prefer to pull up along the coast road, which is just a few steps up the hill from the lobby of each hotel. On Sunday, the bus driver will park for 15 minutes on the coast road just between the two hotels to allow people to load up from both hotels at once. The driver will then drop people at the end of the day in the same place. On Monday-Friday, both buses should follow this same procedure, but with the bus for each hotel parking closer to the particular hotel along the coast road. Catching the Bus from UCSD (SDSC/Faculty Club/AP&M) back to the Hotels: Each bus will have a sign in the front window indicating both "DD20" and the particular conference hotel the bus is traveling to. Keep in mind that the hotels are right next door to each other, so you can safely take either bus to your hotel, as long as you are staying at one of the two conference hotels.
