About How do I get from San Francisco to Costa Mesa

How do I get from San Francisco to Costa Mesa?
Planning my trip to California and stuck on that bit. Looking to go on public transport but have never been over that way so not sure what companies to be looking with. Am coming over from Ireland. How long would it take? Even if there is somewhere nice I should stop midway let me know...I always like the travelling to be part of the holiday. Thanks On public transport

Answer 2 :
The US train is called Amtrak. Go to Amtrak.com You can take a train from San Francisco to Irvine or Santa Ana, and then probably local bus or taxi service to your final destination in Costa Mesa. The train trip is 10.5 hours. It would cost about $60 US. If you could rent a car and drive, it would take about 6.5 hours. The cost of fuel alone would be $30-50 US. There are lots of car rental companies. Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise are the biggest companies. Greyhound is the US bus service. Go to Greyhound.com You can take a bus from San Francisco to Santa Ana. There are about 6 buses on that route on a week day. Depending on which time you leave, it would take between 10 and 11.5 hours and cost $44 US. You could also fly from San Francisco (SFO) to John Wayne/Orange County (SNA) in about 90 minutes flight time for about $250 to $300.
