San Diego Trolley Blue Line, University of California San Diego to Downtown San Diego, Siemens S700

[@johnp1937]

Nice video. I rode this when it opened a couple years ago. Hopefully a future extension will be a direct airport connection.

[@HOUExplorer]

Thanks! Yes, hopefully MTS would expand the Trolley to the airport.

[@dennisc6716]

@@HOUExplorer I'm rooting for the people mover concept instead of the trolley. MTS is about to increase Blue line frequencies from Santa Fe Depot north to every 7-8 minutes, and they have future plans to increase Green line frequencies. Both share the line from Santa Fe Depot to Old Town. Throwing in a trolley to the airport would be a nightmare as it would likely have to use the same corridor.

7:00 this station should be called UC San Diego Health/Scripps Memorial Center since there are actually two large hospital campuses on each side. The camera is actually facing Scripps Memorial Hospital in this shot. 8:39 LOL, what the? 11:14 one of the more important stops on the line connecting veterans in Central SD to VA Med Center in La Jolla.

Fantastic footage!!! When I left San Diego to move to northwest Arkansas in 2010, this line was not yet in existence. It really lengthens the Blue Line by quite a bit . . .

[@HOUExplorer]

Thanks! I'm glad that The Trolley is growing little by little.

What's up, man and Happy Saturday! I just visited Fort Lauderdale Beach, last Wednesday and it wasn't that crowded! See you on Tuesday at 7PM! 🕖

Happy Saturday!

They easily could have had an additional connection to the Coaster Commuter Rail at Balboa Station......the tracks are right next to each other......they would just have to rip down that wall

[@willmorris8198]

Or extended it even further to the Sorrento Valley coaster station. Or a direct coaster connection to UCSD. Would have given UCSD commuters a much faster option for getting to school/work while the Trolley provides a good way for getting around within the UCSD area

[@socaltnboy1989]

@@willmorris8198people don’t understand. The coaster does not belong to Mts . It belongs to NCT . That’s why all the 300s routes and 101 are limited to where they can go. Route 20 used to go to the Escondido mall then NCT decided not to let Mts into north court which then route 20 went to Del lago station . Far but close to mall . To only going as far as rancho Bernardo.

[@willmorris8198]

@@socaltnboy1989 You're correct, the coaster is NCTD. However they both use the same fare system (pronto) and are well integrated to be able to get a coaster pass that also lets you ride all of MTS plus the Sprinter and the NCTD busses with a single card (although it is more expensive than a normal MTS pass). Similar to how Tokyo's multiple rail agencies are integrated so a single fare gets you on everything. The fact that we have multiple agencies isn't the problem, the lack of infrastructure is the problem

[@socaltnboy1989]

@@willmorris8198 Mts has tried to buy out NCT for years and they won’t sell. It’s cheap because 70-80% of their buses don’t run past 7pm lol and also there’s no night life unless you go to downtown Escondido or Oceanside . And even then the sprinter doesn’t run as late as trolley . Eventually Mts will buy it off.

[@GOD2GINO4EVER]

I have a question. How much are the all day fares???

[@HOUExplorer]

Day Pass is $6.00 using a PRONTO Fare Card. Please check MTS Fare webpage for more information: www.sdmts.com/fare-chart

Do You have San Ysidro to old Town Center?

[@HOUExplorer]

Not yet, but I will have them when I return to San Diego.

[@GOD2GINO4EVER]

The reason why i'm asking because I haven't been there in five years and I am planning on returning

[@CancelYoutube026]

LA Metro is way better in comparasion

[@HOUExplorer]

Why's that?

[@CancelYoutube026]

@@HOUExplorer SD is cant beat LA Metros bright future and expansion, plus the high speed rail.

[@jeSuisbar]

@@CancelKZbin026It just sucks that everything takes too long to do in the US. CDMX already has its high speed rail commuter running, 2 lines of cable cars & now they are completing the suburban line, going onto the 3rd cable car 🚠 line & they are extending BRTs.

[@malcorub]

3.5 million people in SD county compared to 12 million people in LA Metro area.... of course it is better as it should be for the 2nd biggest city in US. For a midsized, sprawled out city, San Diego's light rail is really decent.
