    The San Diego Trolley system is an attractive option for those traveling from the north, east or south. Five San Diego Trolley stations sit within a 15 minute walk of the park. Park and ride lots are located along all Trolley lines, providing the convenience of leaving your car behind. In fact, nearly 10,000 parking spaces are available at park and ride locations throughout the county. There are also parking spaces available at Qualcomm Stadium, with direct Trolley service to PETCO Park. San Diego Trolley will provide special, more direct "Green Line" service from Qualcomm Stadium to the ballpark via the Convention Center route, on game days, starting two hours before the game and running until two hours after the game. "Green Line" trains will serve all Mission Valley stations and the Old Town Transit Center, with the exception of Mission San Diego, which will not be served by the "Green Line" service.

    We found the Old Town Trolley useful not just as a tour, but as basic transportation -- if you are staying on Coronado Island, as we were, it is cost efficient compared with taking cabs and much more entertaining! . All of the drivers are good -- but Frank has to take the prize for over-the-top looniness.

    On our recent visit, we stayed very close to the Gaslamp District, and did a lot of walking. Because we had also rented a car, we did not take advantage of the San Diego Trolley, however, it looks like a very efficient way to travel. When doing my research prior to our trip, I kept reading about The Trolley. I now realize there are 2 'Trolley's'. This one is the San Diego Trolley, which is part of the basic public transportion system. The other one is the 'Old Town Trolley', which is a tourist trolley, which also takes you around San Diego. See my tip on the Old Town Trolley for more info.

    San Diego has a small trolley system with plans of expanding. The BLUE LINE runs south to north, from San Ysidro (At the Mexican boarder) to the San Diego Mission. The ORANGE LINE runs west to east, from downtown San Diego to Gillespie Field in El Cajon. On 10 July 2005 the GREEN LINE will open. Mission Valley East (MVE) trolley line from Old Town Transit Center to Santee Town Center will have stops at San Diego State University, (SDSU) Grantville Station, Alvarado Hospital Medical Center Station and a 70th Street Station. Many of the other stops are at interesting places in the area. Compared to European Systems, ours is far behind, but compared to past years the system is much improved.

    San Diego Trolley is great for going down town. The cost of the trolly ride is less than the fee for parking and the expense of the gasoline. We got a ticket that was good for 4 days for $12. That is $3 a day to ride any place you want to go. (I did see some young people getting on without getting a ticket but I am just to honest to do that.) Look at the picture of my wife waiting for the trolley. The trolleys are all painted red. They are painted red but called 'blue' line and 'orange' line. In the window of the front red painted car will be a sign that says if it is a blue or orange trolley. There are trolley stops a short walk from many of the major attractions in San Diego.

    Prior to our trip, I kept reading about 'The Trolley' and how it was a great way to get around San Diego. What I didn't realize is that there are 2 'trolleys'. This one is the Old Town Trolley, which is more of a tourist thing. The trolley travels around the city, and for 1 ticket, you can spend the day getting off and on at various spots. It's not to be confused (like me) with the San Diego Trolley which are the red trolleys, and are part of the San Diego public transit system. (see my Tip on the San Diego Trolley for more info.)

    The San Diego Trolley

    What San Diego calls a trolley is actually a light rail system, and very different from the Old Time Trolley Tours. We found the Trolley to be our best bet to take us south of the city center to San Ysidro on the Mexican border at Tiajuana. We took the Blue Line from the Sante Fe Depot to the southern terminus of the line at San Ysidro, and back. We took the Blue Line from the Sante Fe Depot to the southern terminus of the line, and back. The San Diego Trolley, which has been in orperation since 1981, is a 48-mile network with three different segments: the Blue Line, the Orange Line and the new Green Line. It is an easy, effecient and inexpensive way to get around much of the San Diego area. Click the link below to see a Trolley route map and timetables.

  • Public transportation is not a problem in San Diego. There is no need to rent a car because ther are plenty of buses and even a trolley that can get to any location for about $2.00

    San Diego Trolley - convenient way to get around. It also takes you from downtown to the Tijuana-border in just minutes.
