I ride the bus all the time and I'm not 100 percent sure if that folding bike law also applies to SD Transit. I know for sure that a cyclist can bring a folding bike on the Coaster and Trolley anytime, but I'm not sure about the bus.
All San Diego routes have bike racks for 2 bikes. I ride the bus because I ride during peak hours and the chances of my getting one of the two spots on the racks are very slim so I don't commune to work anymore.
