Chula Vista Transit

Chula Vista Transit was the public transportation provider of Chula Vista, CA in San Diego County. The agency and its operations were absorbed into San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) in 2002. However, MTS continued to distinguish Chula Vista Transit service from MTS service with a new yellow & blue livery until the 2010's.
