The authors give the precise form of left-invariant vector fields defining sub-Riemannian and sub-Lorentzian structures on anti-de Sitter group. In sections 3 and 4 the question of existence of smooth horizontal curves in the sub-Lorentzian manifold is studied. The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms are applied to find sub-Lorentzian geodesics in sections 5 and 6. Section 7 is devoted to the study of a sub-Riemannian geometry defined by the distribution generated by space-like vector fields of anti-de Sitter space. In both sub-Riemannian and sub-Lorentzian cases they find geodesics explicitely.
