Bus & Trolley

It's Easy Going to the Game on the San Diego Trolley and MTS Express Bus!

San Diego Trolley

It’s easy going to the “Q” by Trolley! The Stadium Trolley Station is located in Section J of the parking lot, just steps away from Gate K. On Game Days, increased frequency and longer trains help to get fans to and from the stadium.  Three hours before game time, Green Line service increases to every five to seven minutes. There’s increased post-game service too. Fans can park free at many Green Line Park & Ride locations, including Santee Trolley Square, Gillespie Field, El Cajon Transit Center, Old Town, Morena/Linda Vista, Hazard Center (Lower Level only), Grantville and 70th Street. Many Blue and Orange Line stations also have free parking. Transfer from the Orange Line at Grossmont Center or from the Blue Line at Old Town.  All regular adult cash fares on the San Diego Trolley are $2.50 (regardless of the number of stations travelled). Adult Day Tripper fares (for round-trip travel) are $5. Or use your Monthly Pass. And don’t forget, kids ride free on the Trolley on weekends! On Saturdays and Sundays, the Trolley is free for two children (12 and younger) when accompanied by one fare paying passenger 18 years or older. Buy $5 Day Tripper pass at ticket vending machines before boarding. Day Tripper passes are also sold in advance at The Transit Store at 1st and Broadway or by visiting the eStore at www.sdmts.com.
