Special Event Line (San Diego Trolley)


The Special Event Service Line was a light rail line operated by the San Diego Trolley, an operating division of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System. These trains operated between Qualcomm Stadium and downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter during sporting events at Petco Park and Qualcomm Stadium, as well as selected conventions and other major city events. These trains ran anywhere from every  to 15 minutes apart in addition to normally scheduled trains based on the time, size and location of the event. The Special Event Line was used between 2005 through 2012, after which it was shut down as part of a system redesign. The entire route the Special Event line ran is now served by the Green Line, and MTS now opts to add cars and increase service on that route when needed. The last Special Event Trolley departed at 6:54 pm on August 29, 2012. From July 21 to July 24 of 2023, the Special Events Line was brought back to run from Balboa Avenue Transit Center to 12th and Imperial, following the Green Line's alignment from 12th and Imperial to Santa Fe Depot. Over the course of that weekend, the Special Events Line served over 100 thousands riders. 2005-2012 route
