Do I need the physical card or can every trip be done with just the pronto app on my iPhone and screen scans?
@Barryfordmemphis
I used to be stationed there when there was just a single Red Line Trolley from downtown south to the border. The current transit options are awesome. Thanks.
@760khriz93
It’s 6$ all day not 8$
@yeee3466

Jamas usaria tarjetas de esas que te van cobrando segun se usa, aqui esta el abono mensual, pagas segun las zonas, por ejemplo zona B3 que esta a unos 30 km alrededor de Madrid 33€ al mes puedes usar todo, metro, tren de cercanias y metro ligero o travia tambien los buses, todas las veces que quieras durante ese mes, los menores de 26 años pagan 13€ y los mayores de 65 años no pagan, tampoco pagan los discapacitados, https://youtu.be/xjgoEJr1yJc?si=Y8kCEevaz9wSsNLl&t=1
aqui hay tarjeta para recardar 1 o 10 nviajes, ahora es mas economico 10 viajes en la zona A vale 6,10€, para metro, bus urbano.
@fcjose31
No me entere de nada colega, al menos por Madrid y España me muevgo hasta con los ojos cerrados, el Metro mas de 300 estaciones 300 km de via y el tren de cercanias lo conozco como la palma de mi mano, https://youtu.be/MMO5dKwcF88?si=Tql_XzvwI43s3Q80&t=1
Creo que Europa suele tener mejor transporte publico, EEUU parece estar diseñado para usar coche y España esta mas diseñado para transporte publico y caminar.

Hi. I'm from OC. I plan to take the SD Flyer Shuttle to SD Airport. Can you recommend where I can safely park my car for free for 7-8 days? Or, I can take MTS 992 to the SD Airport.
Your viewers would appreciate the hidden spot where we can park safely for free before hoping on the shuttle/bus. Any suggestions? Thank you!
@auroravindiola134
Thank you! Very helpful:)
@kennethperalta1632
Can you do one for san Francisco 😂
@jm52SD
Jay – first time jury duty and trolley rider, but tomorrow i will be taking Blue Line from Nobel to America Plaza, and trying that pizza 😂 I was wondering about the Pronto app too… will be using that as well. Thanks for the video, couldn’t have been more perfect!
@strngindpndntwmn
Thank you for this! The Pronto virtual card doesn't show the $6 all day no more. or did they remove it already??
@ljones7825
I will be visiting San Diego for a day and flying back home. I want to experience the beach and good food. I would like some options to commute there and back to the airport. Thanks ☺️
@javamon
We would all the trolley "light rail" where I live. Does the color of the trolley cars match the line (ie orange, blue, green)?
@TheGraceLifeVlog
Oh my goodness. Thanks so much for this.
@barry3565
Thanks ! I wish I knew your channel !
@hoochrocks
When you said MTS transportation, I thought you said "Empty *ss" transportation. LOL
@jesusjacome838
Where are you at homeboy?
@eezzukisburn
for MTS bus can you just pay in cash on the spot without downloading the pronto app?
@WTP_1776
this is train names coaster mts trolley bus amtrak
@prettymsdance
This is confusing for me. I live in Sacramento, so we just have one daily pass, not a reloadable card. You can get a reloadable card, but it’s not required. We also have the Zip Pass app that you can buy mobile tickets on. I have family in San Diego and have visited for years, but I’ve always taken my car. I’m thinking about moving there and using transportation a lot. So there’s no option to buy a daily pass on the Pronto App? Also, let’s say I get the physical $2 card and load the $6 on. Even if I take 2 rides that each take $2.50 off, what happens for my third ride? I won’t get a citation because I loaded $6 on there? I just want to make sure I get this right. My family in San Diego hasn’t tried the transit there yet so they’re not sure how it works. Thanks for any help!
P.S. In Sacramento, on the phone and on the physical card, each pass shows an expiration date and time. So for the daily pass, it shows you can use it until the next morning and that’s how bus drivers and fare-checkers on the light-rail (train) know if you’re cheating the system or not.
@Waterflux
An excellent intro to SDMTS! 🙂 SD Trolley has come a long way since I moved to SD. Back then, there was only one line: San Ysidro-Civic Center. (Dang … how many years have I been living in SD?!?) Overall, I like the layout of all three routes. In particular, connecting both SDSU and now UCSD to the trolley network. I have a wishlist for additional extensiots for the trolley network, but I will not get into it at the moment. Jury duty and riding trolley …… tell me about it! 😀 My funniest experience with riding trolley was about 20 years ago when a man who sat across my seat started smoking. The trolley operator engaged his PA system in a matter of few seconds. (Back then, there were no transit police.) This smoker, after being on the receiving end of the over-the-PA-warnings, finally had enough and got out of the trolley. Oh, boy! Giovanni's?!? I have stopped at America Plaza a plenty of times but never got to try out any one of the nearby restaurants, except for Starbucks. But the two slices of pizza from Giovanni's featured in this video looks yummy.
@notsammiguel8417
Great video man. I’m from LA but I love San Diego. Quick question though. If I get the all day pass for six dollars, does that mean I can go from the border all the way to downtown and then back again to the border with no extra charge
@fusionryan3855
Very informative, yo vivo aquí en San Fernando Valley LA county. This memorial weekend May 29 2023 I’m going all the way to San Ysidro Tijuana (1st time in public transit). I feel more confident that I’m not gonna get lost after watching this video it may be a long trip to get there tho. 🎉 New Subscriber here 🎉
@bruceboman9801
You're on the Blue line.
@aliciaeasterwood
This is so helpful! I'm visiting SD next month and planning out everything to make it a fun weekend while being a work trip.
@AssBlasster
Didn't know about that airport shuttle to Old Town or the free downtown rideshare thing. I'm a frequent visitor with family in the suburbs, but I'm finally moving there and can't wait to actually rapid transit! My small city has one useless bus route and nothing to connect nearby cities, which has been a pain as someone who can't drive.
@kathywalton7036
Thank you for your amazing video. I had jury duty and had never used the trolley before. Your video gave me the perfect information I needed to navigate it with ease and confidence. I just may use it for our next Padres game, or trip to the airport.
@MIDencezzz
Man, i need to go to the social security office and im been living my whole life in tijuana so i dont really know anything about how to travel):
@kimberlynhughes3658
Thank you for this great video!! I am planning to visit San Diego in about 3 weeks. (3rd wk of April) and this was so comprehensive!!. I will be staying at the Navy Lodge in Coronado and I'm trying to figure out how to get to North Island using public transportation. (haven't finished watching the video yet). I will be coming from Disneyland in Anaheim (or possibly from Long Beach). But I may need to rent a car at least for a few days to go to Legoland and SeaWorld. But now based upon this video and a few of your others, I know I'm going to go on the Old Town Trolley Tour and get an all day bus pass. And I know places to go to eat!! I'd have never known to go to all these places. I really need 2 or 3 weeks in San Diego now. The last time I came to California, 23 years ago, back in 2000, I literally just passed the sign on the highway and went to Laguna Beach and Newport Beach instead. (I was visiting family in other places like Diamond Bar and West Covina and explored the LaBrea Tar Pits and places nearer to LA. There's so much to do here in San Diego, now I'm like, do I have time to go to the Zoo?
Kudos to you on your fully information packed as well as entertaining videos. I feel so very prepared to choose what I will enjoy most and hopefully better able to choose (or at least offer guidance on) what my 21 yr old son and my 23 yr. old daughter may enjoy doing!! You do a truly phenomenal job!!
@christopherp.hitchens3902
Did I miss something? It sounded like you were already in San Diego but then…you seemed to be taking a long ride INTO San Diego? “Nobel Drive”? …”UTC”?? What does all this mean? WHAT CITY ARE YOU STARTING FROM? Is the Nobel Drive parking lot a part of San Diego? Or…are you in a nearby city?
@CaliforniaRailWatchers
Cool Video !
@steinfi3
Thanks!
@steinfi3
This was great, man, thanks!
@luckysuzful
MTS Bus 992 takes you from the America Plaza to the airport. Another great way to get to your flight!
@JoeHeine
This is cool. I rode the Coaster and Sprinter for free on Saturday for Rosa Parks birthday. Paradoxically the bus back to SD wasn't free.
@sandradibiaso7316
The Sante Fe train station is beautiful.
@sandradibiaso7316
Pronto is like the Sunrail in Orlando, Florida.
@summertime7112
Is there a pronto machine next to the airport? And is there a real physical pronto $6 daily card still today???
@sangnam3664
No… no… no… no… no. DO NOT TAKE MTS! Lots of murders are occurred from here.
@rvp9748
Very good information. Thanks for making such a video

How do I got from el Cajon to Amazon on otay mesas I just moved here
@1958zed
Before retiring, I used MTS Blue Line and Rapid buses to commute to and from work every day (saved $2,000 on gas and tolls in 2019). Your point about VALIDATING YOUR PRONTO CARD before riding is important. Transit police will check your pass at random. On one trip home, my pass was checked at City College Station before boarding the trolley; again at the 12th and Imperial Transit Center; and again at Barrio Logan Station. I've also had it checked on a bus. You definitely don't want to get a citation for trying to cheat the system.
@JuanWayTrips
8:00 Quick correction on your Amtrak mention, the Surfliner ends at San Luis Obispo, so if you want to take the train to San Francisco/Bay Area you'll have to change trains in LA to the Coast Starlight (or take an Amtrak bus from LA to Bakersfield and take the San Joaquin from there).
Also, San Diego-LA is always ~$35 (maybe $37). They sell unreserved coach tickets, which means if you miss the train, you can actually use it between the same cities within a year. The downside is that coach can oversell (rare but it does happen), but it's nice to have that consistent fare. FYI, business class is usually just $20 more and you'll get a bottle of wine and snacks on board, and you have access to a basic lounge in LA. The tickets are reserved though, so you can't miss the train you're scheduled for (and prices for that do fluctuate).
@AcePaintingandDecorating
Are there water activities in Dal mar in January
@fga4523
Awesome content
@regissimplicio6039
Great vídeo Jay! I was enjoying this beautiful city 11 years ago! I really miss everything I lived there during my one month stay in SD. Your vídeo made me live that again! I hope to visit SD again one day. Thank you so much! / São Paulo – Brazil 🇧🇷
@Someguy493
Jaycation!!! I watched this video and many others before I visited San Diego for a week back in August. You're spot on!!! I used the trolley but also booked a Zipcar for a lot of my trip. I even took the Old Town flyer to and from the Airport to the Trolley. Thanks for including all the details including the Pronto card. I live up in the Bay Area so will be visiting SD again soon; I just wanted to say thanks for the quality content. This was a Godsend for me; thanks again buddy!!!
@THECOORSLIGHTKING
hey jay good morning ….have a good thursday……..pinoy power
@Someguy493
Very helpful and informative. I am flying down to SD from the Bay Area next week and was debating renting a Zipcar for the entire week I am in SD or just using transit. This is helpful. I will probably do 4 days with a Zipcar and 3 days taking transit.
