Boulevard Transit Plaza is a bus rapid transit station in the City Heights district of San Diego located at the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and California State Route 15. The street-level platforms are served by Rapid 215, while the freeway-level platforms are served by Rapid 235. Local service is also provided by MTS route 1 at the street-level platforms and express route 60 at the freeway ramps.
Prior to the Transit Plaza, the Rapid 235 served the intersection using bus stops at freeway ramps[4]. Rapid 215 buses later began serving the station after service began in 2014. In March 2018, Boulevard Transit Plaza officially opened, featuring new freeway-level "CenterLine" platforms in the median of the SR-15 below to speed up service and provide a more "train-like experience[3][5]." Similar platforms were added at City Heights Transit Plaza south along SR-15.
