While out in San Diego, California I was leaving the seaport area and looking to head north to Old Town a great town which prides itself on duplicating Mexico, with it's great entertainment, music, dancers and food. As I was waiting for the trolley I turned and saw one pulling in on the opposite track, the trolley reminds of something of yesteryear with its three cars and slow riding cars and with the tracks built into the ground. But it is one of the best way in San Diego to travel from one location to another is by the famous San Diego Trolley System. It is easy to find, very accesible, and goes all over San Diego for a very fair price. The San Diego Trolley is a light rail system operating in the metropolitan area of San Diego. It is known colloquially as The Trolley or by tourists as The Red Trolley. The operator, San Diego Trolley, Inc. (SDTI),[1] is a subsidiary of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS). The Trolley began service on July 26, 1981,[1] and today operates three primary lines named the Blue Line, the Orange Line, and the Green Line, as well as a supplementary downtown circulator known as the Silver Line on weekends and holidays. With an average of 96,900 riders, the trolley is currently the 5th most-ridden light rail system in the United States.
The San Diego Trolley is operated by MTS which is one of the oldest transit systems in Southern California dating back to the 1880s. Although its operating names have changed over the years, the two modes of transportation, buses and light rail, have remained consistent over the past 125 years.
San Diego Trolley initially used the same German-built Siemens-Duewag U2 vehicles as Edmonton and Calgary in Alberta, Canada and Frankfurt in Germany. The fleet has since been expanded to include the SD-100 and Avanto S70 vehicles manufactured by Siemens.
