For the city of the Lamesa Village has many historical sites from the first bank of Calif to the local first drug stores . For the many restaurants and the pubs they have you find some them are the small hole in the wall to the brewery of the Curbside Pub Restaurant that has some of the best hamburgers . The large clocktower below there is the Goodwill store where you can find many things to create one of the creative costumes. The Lamesa Village walk takes by past the train station and the many retail and food stores . One of the older restaurants had shut its doors which has been PorVa Vor restaurant that has changed hands . For the large size of Oktoberfest is to take the the trolley in from Spring Street and the Grossmont trolley centers. It's easier to take the trolley to the city of Lamesa Village for the parking g near by will be expensive. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the city of Lamesa Village has many places to enjoy and the many restaurants you can have the best dinners and some of the best pizza.

Is the aunivrrsity actualy clean from drugs and alcohol from the BYU University they are asked tosign a plefge to have no drugs or alcohol on the Campus or they can be removed or lose their scholarships. With the nany that Ive seen there have been the good ones and the bad ones the San Diego State University is looked upon as the alcoholics school. The campus is spread out into many ares of the campus with the Fraternitys off on the side streets hidden from public. The ladies groups are on the main street of Montezuma and College the neighborhood of the college as some of the houses are used by students. For the University can be one of the bigfest yet with the outdoor concert theater and the Indoor basketball they hace the loudest basketball for the Volley Ball is played inside. There are many places for your students get jobs the University required the basketball teams for the school didnt have the money for the scholarships. Teaching students how to get jobs they can also take the stress off the parents for when you go to college the parents want to know if there son or daughter has a ft or pt job. One thing that many universitys is gave the problems with drugs yes San Diego State did have a problem with drugs which had killed a Scorority Student she overdosed. Drugs were found to be sold durring games money guns were confiscated. Is to ask your self is to send your send your student a clean university. With the Trolley System students can take the trolley from the East County and the Fashion Valley area that many students catch the trolley even from the city of Elcajon. With the buses you can catch to the concerts and the trolleys that take to the many stations for the many places to eat you can take a nice just with in a few blocks. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer with the many places that I have been there have been the good things and the awful things. To see new students get accepted to colleges and to expand their minds not to waste their time in parties. For parents they want to see their students and to make sonething of themselves not to wwaste their lives.

This trolley station is underground which is pretty cool, however it's very dark, and dungeoness looking. There are seats available and some soda machines. It's pretty accurate with the times to get in and out, the escalator NEVER works, so i'd highly recommend using the elevator if you need it for accessibility or be aware for the staircases. This spot is perfect for heading to the mall or the snapdragon football games!

For the May times that I have rode the trolley to Santee Town Center there will be a new trolley the Copper Line will be servicing the city. For the Copper Line will be servicing between the ElCajon Transit and the many stations between Santee Town Center that will end at the ElCajon Transit. If you need to get on the Green Line you can board there and if you need to transfer to the Orange you can do that Grossmont Transit center. For the travel to the East County it takes you past all the traffic and congestion for the Green line is quick and smooth travel. Trolley if you like to relax and take the kids on the trolley it's the best way you u can go to the Zoo and Sea World. When you board all Trolleys and busses you must have a pass or correct fare and tap at the Pronto Pedestals that registers your fare . As a Yelp Elite Reviewer for the many years that I have rode the trolley the ElCajon Station is one that with the many buses and the connections to the casino buses the station is one busy place. With an Amart you can get snacks and drinks for your trip on the trolley and the trip home on the bus. Happy travels for those that like to take the trolley for free is October 2nd free ride on the bus and trolley .

Even considering that, you will still need to walk a bit to get to wherever you are trying to get to since this actual station is so big with it's parking area. Overall, I feel this location could have been better off a couple blocks over or at least have the actual stop closer to traffic so you don't feel so isolated from the actual area.

The reason for the charge was in part, to make it a more efficient service. HA! More efficient my ass! It was a hot day. We weren't going far. About one mile.

The driver (didn't catch the name this time) was 3 minutes away. That driver also canceled. 3rd attempt. Gabriel was 4 minutes away. Then 3 minutes. Then 2. Then back to 3. What? Then jumped to 5 minutes away. Nope. F*ck it. This time I canceled. We walked and arrived in less time than we waited for Circuit to never show up. They canceled on us twice, then the third driver kept getting further away. Ridiculous. I left a comment on the app voicing my displeasure. As expected, I did not receive a response.

My only gripe is that I wish I would have known about it earlier, lol. The app was easy to use and book a ride. When I first loaded it up, I thought it wasn't working, but it was just that the ride window had not started yet (it starts taking rides at 7am, and I was looking at 6:50a). I was able to book a ride immediately and it gave me a waiting time of about 3 minutes. The wait time was not entirely accurate, as it ended up being closer to 10 minutes. But, once I was picked up, it was smooth sailing. I even had my luggage with me, and while it was tricky, I was able to fit it all in the vehicle. Driver was super friendly, too. Because this is totally free, and worked for my needs, I'm giving it five stars. But this is not a good service if you are in a hurry or are particular about how you want to travel. It was an open-air vehicle, which meant no windows and no A/C. We also stopped to pick someone else up so you won't necessarily get a direct ride. If that's important to you, you should get an Uber or Lyft instead. It also does NOT go to the airport, so you will need a rideshare for that. Also, I used this service in the early morning. I can't speak for during peak times. But for back and forth from the convention center in the early morning, it was perfect. And since everything else in SD is so expensive, I'll take whatever savings I can get.

With the many Trolley stations that I have come across with the many new stations and the ones which have started the many programs with having artists come and paint murals that are not graffiti. The many years that Massachusetts Transit Center has been in operation there were many stations just grey color there were others that were left with no colors and the atmosphere it not inviting. With the many stations which have let an artist group to come in and create many murals at the many stations along the Orange Line with the many stations which are in the Lemon Grove and the Euclid Trolley Station. This is one of the best programs to have paid artist group to come in and add color to the many stations which some of the stations just have shrubbery and trees. With the Massachusetts Street Station that is one of the best and one that has some of the best color and the creative style has gone beyond the limits and the style is far beyond any graffiti tag. The second level of the parking lot when you come to the station you can see the mural when you get off the trolley its one of the best with the many other stations, they have done has brought color to the stations and to catch the feel of the Trolley Stations. I had asked the artists they had told me the piece was over several months to complete with having to most of the work at night and doing the many sections during the days. I have seen many large paintings and the murals that are in museums this one piece was done and he many sections were done by brush, and some of the sections were done by airbrush. To see a Trolley Station get turned into a art museum and the piece that I had viewed is one of the best how could most people finish in one day, yet the artist group took several months to create the one large wall that spans the whole wall from oner end to the other. To see the o0ther stations if you have seen the many pieces, they have different at the many other stations the Massachusetts street station is one of the greatest to be seen by the whole city of San Diego. To the artist group that is one terrific piece for the many to see and get to know what art really is and the many colors to bring life to vacant Trolley and past Bus Transit center. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer from the many art museums and the museums of Balboa Park there has been many of the works of the world and the paintings of the grandmasters.
