Public Transit to the Center

Air Travel

Palm Springs International Airport
3400 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262
This is the closest airport to the Vipassana Center; approximately 1 hour away.

Ontario Airport (ONT)
The second best option is Ontario Airport, because it is right on the I-10 Freeway and many students will pass it who may be offering a ride on the rideshare board. DO NOT fly into LAX or other airports which are MUCH further away!

Amtrak, Greyhound and Flixbus

There is an Amtrak, Greyhound and Flixbus stop at the Palm Springs Train Station

Continue from the train station to Twentynine Palms using the public transportation instructions below.

Local Buses

Getting a ride with a student is much faster than traveling by the local bus system.

You will have to depart early in order to arrive at the meditation center by the 3-5 pm registration period on the day your course starts. Only three buses to Twentynine Palms run each day, and not on Sundays.

1) Travel to Palm Springs Bus Terminal or Palm Springs Train Station or Palm Springs International Airport. (Check your local transit agencies online for routes and schedules.)
2) Take MBTA Bus Line 12/15 to Yucca Valley. http://www.mbtabus.com/
3) Take MBTA Bus Line 1 to Twentynine Palms. http://www.mbtabus.com/
4) Ask the driver to stop at Mantonya Avenue, which is right at the very tall radio tower on Twentynine Palms Highway. Mantonya is between the Copper Mountain College and Indian Cove stops. There is a 6' sign that says SCVC at the corner of the property.
