(To view service change information, click here.)

Beginning September 1, 2008, some MTS bus and trolley fares will change as described below.

MTS San Diego Trolley Fares:

All regular adult cash fares on the San Diego Trolley will be $2.50. The cash fare will no longer depend on the number of stations travelled. All senior/disabled/Medicare recipient cash fares on the trolley will be $1.25. Transfers between all Trolley lines are permitted without additional cost within two hours of initial purchase. (Please keep your ticket with you during your entire trip on the Trolley.) The regular downtown-only fare remains $1.25 and a $0.60 Senior/Disabled/Medicare fare will be offered. Round trip tickets will no longer be offered and will be replaced by the $5 Day Pass.


MTS Bus Cash Fares:
There are no changes to the adult regular cash fares on MTS buses. The MTS bus cash fares for Seniors/Disabled/Medicare recipients will change to be half of the regular adult cash fare on most MTS routes and $1.10 on MTS routes with a $2.25 fare.

Sorrento Valley Coaster Connection (SVCC):
The SVCC service will have a cash fare of $1.00 each way ($0.50 Senior/Disabled/Medicare). Alternatively, a monthly pass that allows unlimited travel on the SVCC will be available as an add-on to the COASTER monthly pass as follows: Adult: $40.00; Senior/Disabled/Medicare: $10.00; Youth: $20.00.
