Hop Off Here — Spring Adventures by Transit 🚆

Spring is here — and it’s the perfect time to get out and explore the Bay Area by bus and train. In this episode of Hop Off Here, we highlight easy, scenic, and accessible destinations you can reach without a car.

🌿 Hiking by Transit with Evan Tschuy

We kick things off with Evan Tschuy, creator of HikingByTransit.com, who shares why combining transit and hiking creates a more flexible — and often more rewarding — outdoor experience. From ridge hikes between Pacifica and San Bruno to coastal escapes and beach access along the Peninsula, Evan shows how your next trailhead might start with a bus ride.
