Often, we have students who stay with us that attend CalTech or do a summer internship there, so thought I'd mention the bus line to get there. It's actually a direct trip there from the house with no need to transfer to any other bus lines. The 267 will take you directly there from the bus stop across the street from our home to the Del Mar & Wilson stop where CalTech is.
