San Diego – An SDG&E-related gas leak has forced the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) to curtail Orange Line Trolley service between the 25th & Commercial Station and 47th Street Station for Monday evening’s commute. MTS has a bus bridge is in effect to manage service between the two Trolley stations. The disruption is anticipated to last until at least 9 p.m. If taking the bus bridge, plan on an extra half-hour travel time.
MTS is bridging service with eight buses between the two Orange Line Trolley stations. At the 25th & Commercial Station, passengers can also walk to stops for Routes 3 and 4 as alternatives depending on their destination. If passengers destined for downtown are near the Grossmont and El Cajon Trolley stations, or if they are downtown and want to travel to destinations east of Grossmont, MTS recommends transferring to the Green Line.
