MTS is the affordable way for families to get to STEAM Fest! With direct access to Petco Park from three Trolley lines and multiple bus routes, why deal with parking hassles? Let MTS be your ride.
Getting to Petco Park
Get to Petco Park the easy way – with one of three of MTS’s Trolley lines that will leave you steps away from the festival. Use the Green Line Trolley to get to Gaslamp Quarter station or use the UC San Diego Blue Line Trolley and the Orange Line Trolley to get to 12th & Imperial and walk a block over to Petco Park.
Do you need help planning your trip? MTS has got you covered. The MTS Trip Planner allows you to easily get directions to Downtown San Diego. Simply enter your starting location and then type in “Petco Park” into the destination box and your trip plan will generate using the bus and/or Trolley.
Paying for your Fare
Riders have more options than ever before to buy a transit fare with ease:
Kids ride FREE.
That’s right! Youth riders age 18 and under ride for free with the Youth Opportunity Pass program (requires PRONTO app or card). Youth can register online (please plan ahead and allow a few days for approval) or call the PRONTO Support Team (619-595-5636) for immediate assistance. Learn more about the Youth Opportunity Pass program.
Children 5 and under ride MTS free at all times, no PRONTO fare card needed.
In addition, two kids 12 and under can ride free on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), with each paying adult as part of the MTS Family Weekends promotion.
Contactless Payments
Just making a one-way or round-trip? Simply tap your contactless credit or debit card, including your mobile or smartwatch wallet, on a validator before you board. An adult one-way fare ($2.50) will be charged to your card and includes free transfers for two hours (you must use the same credit card every time you tap!) Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards are accepted.
Keep in mind that you cannot pay for more than one passenger with the same card.
Mobile App
Ready to explore more of San Diego for the whole day? Download the PRONTO app and load $6 to your card (the value of a Day Pass). Scan the QR code at a PRONTO validator, and a one-way fare ($2.50) will be deducted from your balance (includes free transfers for two hours). If you make more than two trips in a day, you will stop being charged at $6, and will have unlimited transfers the rest of the day!
At this time, you cannot pay for more than one passenger per mobile app.
Reduced Fares for Senior and Disabled Passengers
Senior (65+) and disabled riders are eligible for discounted transit fares ($1.25 on-way or $3/day). Apply for a discounted Senior, Disabled or Medicare (SDM) fare online (please plan ahead and allow a few days for approval), or call the PRONTO Support Team (619-595-5636) for more immediate assistance. Learn more about Reduced Fares.
See you onboard!
