On my 2nd day in San Diego I decided to leave my car parked at the hotel and get around using San Diego's public transportation. Fares are calculated based on the number of stops you go and I figured I would be riding it at least 3 times so I bought a 1 day pass for $5 which was also good on the buses I used in Coronado.

You can purchase a ticket or day pass from a machine at the trolley station, the trolley was really easy to figure out, just figure out which color line your station is on and see which direction the trolley is going in, there are only three lines, the orange, the blue and the green.

    By Trolley: Good way to get around.
    The trolley is an excellent way to see San Diego. It goes all the way south to the Mexican border, it goes to Old Town and Mission Valley. There is a stop at the Santa Fe Rail Station if you are coming south from Los Angeles via Amtrak.

    The trolley runs from downtown to the Mexican border and east past San Diego State. Round-trip ticket is usually about $5 and runs about every 15 minutes.

    This is a great way to see San Diego, without fighting the traffic. The trains make frequent runs all day.

    The San Diego Trolley is a great way to
    get around. The trolley travels quickly,
    reliably, and safely to destinations around
    San Diego. Whether you are a commuter,
    tourist, or just want a no-hassle way to
    get around, the trolley can whisk you to
    the international border, Center City,

    Mission Valley, or Fashion Valley shopping, harbor and historic attractions,
    restaurants, Old Town and Qualcomm Stadium with other stops along the way.

    The photos on this tip were taken at San Ysidro US/Mexico border crossing ....

    At this SD intersection, people can easily meet and get around throughout the county. The Amtrak train ends its west coast journey via south right here. Also , this is the centerpoint of the SD red trolley routes where one can catch the blue or orange trains and wehre many bus cross.

    Getting to Mexico from San Diego is SO easy! You hop on the trolley in the city center, get a return ticket for 5 USD, sit in the trolley for about 40 min, get off, walk along some long buildings, bridges, steps, corners - and you're right in the heart of Tijuana, having crossed the busies border crossing in the world into the fastest growing city in Mexico. Page will be built in the Mexico section of my page - as soon as all the California pages are finished....

    San Diego has a nice trolley system. You can buy tickets either per trip, or you can get an "all-day" ticket for $5-6. This ticket lets you ride on the trolleys and buses for the whole day anywhere in the city.

    The trolley uses an honor system, and they don't usually check to see if you have a ticket. But occasionally they will have someone check, and if you are caught without one, you will be in trouble!
