Extra Service Slated for Sky Show and Charger Game
San Diego, CA – This weekend the MTS will provide enhanced service to the SDSU Football game/ Sky Show and the Chargers Football Game.
For the Aztec game and Sky Show on Saturday, enhanced Green Line service will operate between Old Town and SDSU beginning at 4:23pm. Enhanced Green Line service will operate until at least 1 hour after the end of the Sky Show. Longer trains will operate throughout the Green Line before and after the event.
On Sunday, for the Chargers pre-game, extra trolleys will run on the Green Line between Old Town and the Stadium and between Grantville and the stadium starting 1:20 p.m. from Old Town. Also, the MTS will operate longer trains throughout the Green Line. After the Sky Show ends the Green Line will remain operating every 15 minutes until approximately one hour. After the game, the MTS will operate extra Green Line service in both directions as needed. Also Blue Line service from Old Town to San Ysidro will remain on 15-minute frequency until 9:15 p.m. from Old Town.
Due to the amount of riders expected for the events, those using the park & ride lots should arrive early and plan accordingly as parking at popular Trolley stations will fill faster than usual.
Passengers heading to Qualcomm can use the Green Line park & ride lots, which include Old Town, Morena, Hazard Center (lower level only), Grantville, Grossmont Center, Amaya Dr. (La Mesa), El Cajon Transit Center, Gillespie Field, and Santee Town Center. Passengers heading to Qualcomm can also transfer to the Green Line at Old Town (from the Blue Line) or Grossmont Center (from the Orange Line).
Customers are encouraged to buy day passes before boarding the trolley on their way to their event in order to save time and avoid ticket lines. Regular round-trip day passes to Qualcomm are $5. Bus service is included in the day trip fare. Tickets may be purchased at each Trolley station ticket vending machines, the Transit Store or selected locations.
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.
