How Do I Get Around Santa Barbara, California?

There are several different ways of getting around the city of Santa Barbara. For example, Amtrak provides rail service through two trains, known as Coast Starlight and Pacific Surfliner.

Why Do I Need a Car in Santa Barbara, California?

Technically, you don’t. Living in Santa Barbara car-free is not impossible. In fact, it might even be enjoyable. However, there still is a number of reasons why you might want to stick to your vehicle, at least until you get to know the city better.
First of all, the city is pretty spread out. This means that more often than not, amenities you need won’t be exactly just around the corner. In those situations, a car might come in handy.
Secondly, while public transit network in Santa Barbara is pretty well-developed, the fact remains that the buses are not as frequent as they should be.
Lastly, if you ever want to go for a short trip to Los Angeles, or for a picnic outside of town, a car might save you the money you would spend on overpriced bus fares.
In addition to all this, driving around Santa Barbara is fairly easy. The city is bisected by U.S. Route 101, a corridor that connects it to the rest of the Central Coast, as well as the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The streets of Santa Barbara form a perfect grid system, which makes getting around the city easy.
