San Diego Trolley

The San Diego Trolley system, known for its
distinctive red color, covers downtown San Diego
south to the border with Mexico and east to
Santee.

There are two eastern routes, the Orange Line
which goes through the eastern areas of the city
of San Diego and then to Lemon Grove; and the
Green Line through Mission Valley, with stops at
Fashion Valley Mall (San Diego’s largest mall);
Qualcomm Stadium (home of the National
Football League’s San Diego Chargers, the
San Diego State University Aztecs, and the
NCAA Poinsettia Bowl and Holiday Bowl);
San Diego State University (the California State
University System’s largest university campus with
an enrollment of about 37,000); La Mesa, the
“Jewel of the Hills,” and El Cajon, before ending
at Santee.

The Blue Line goes from Old Town through
downtown San Diego, with a stop across from
Petco Park, home of Major League Baseball’s
San Diego Padres, and then to the Mexico border
at San Ysidro.

At the downtown America Plaza station (which is
under San Diego’s tallest building, at 500 feet tall),
one can walk across the street and catch Amtrak
to Los Angeles and points north and east, or a
Coaster up to Oceanside where one can connect
with the Sprinter to Escondido or the Metrolink to
Los Angeles.
