Now Better Transit

More and more people are back onboard transit in San Diego – up 7% from a year ago. MTS logged more than 81 million trips on bus and Trolley service last year (July 2024 – June 2025). We helped people get to work (44%), to school (23%) and record numbers took MTS to special events too (5%).

There’s a lot to celebrate. While we face some significant challenges ahead, we’re still working to make transit better than we were before.

  • Creating a better environment for people waiting and riding for transit with more shade, places to sit and cleaner stations.
  • Making changes to help ensure that people feel safe and welcome on board with better lighting and more security
  • Being efficient and making the best use of public funding by ensuring every dollar is well-spent.
  • Continuing to serve as a reliable, trustworthy partner in the San Diego region that helps our most vulnerable residents get to the places they need to go.
