Heads up: There's currently a lot of construction going on around this train station, so if you're…read moreubering here I would give yourself extra time as your car may need to circle back around or drop you off at a further point with a bit if a walk. The station itself is older but that gives it some charm. If you're coming here thinking you're going to have a whole bunch of food options, think again. There's one little kiosk with a guy selling a few sandwiches and coffee. Honestly though the kiosk guy was great, really friendly even early in the morning. I wasn't exactly sure how this whole thing worked since I'm not from here, but the attendant was nice and explained that my train would have a line up starting 20 minutes before boarding, then we'd all board together. If you're taking a train out of here I'd give yourself extra time and bring your own food (but stop by the kiosk guy for a coffee, he's a delight).

The staff here are rude; lacking basic customer service etiquette and accountability…read more I had a nasty fall on a large puddle of unattended water (no hazard sign). My phone screen is shattered and I have large, colorful bruises all along my knees and left thigh which appeared immediately. I was even bleeding a bit through my clothes. The janitor cleaned the water but was otherwise dismissive and lacking empathy even after seeing the damages. So, I asked him to apologize repeatedly for neglecting his duty . He adamantly refused, stating that "HE (personally) didn't spill the water" and "can't be everywhere at once" lol. The manager had the sense to apologize but was condescending. Talking over me the entire time, loudly defending the janitor within earshot of him. Mansplaining excuses that are NOT the customer's burden to understand such as: "we can't hire janitors 24/7" and "you said the spill looked like it was there for a while? Well, he ONLY clocked in 1hr ago and cleans the restrooms first". How is that my business lol? Any assigned duty during his shift is his responsibility. It's just common sense to apologize. Your internal staffing issues are also not a customer concern; you simply need more janitors or at least for them to prioritize tasks more efficiently. I've worked as a server and can't count the number of times I've had to fix and take accountability for a previous shift's mistake, btw. Annoying to listen to the manager trying to refute and twist all of my legitimate points in the janitor's defense. Yet, fully admitting that he needs to be admonished. Stop being your employee's boy. Teach basic respect. He even countered that this person is a "third party" hire when I pointed out that he still works for and therefore, represents Amtrak. Ridiculous LMFAO. Even ChatGPT finds them rude lol. No professionalism.

Then we transferred to the blue line to take us here. It was about a 25 minute trip. Once we arrived we quickly noticed that there's not much to do or see around there. There's a McDonalds and Jack in the Box as well as a shopping center. I wanted to explore a little more but my son wasn't interested in that day. There was a lot of hustle and bustle. But I didn't feel inherently unsafe or anything line that. Just stayed aware of my surroundings. I could see how this would provide a very convenient way to get back and forth in these 2 areas Someone asked me if I needed a taxi in TJ. But I declined of course. Once we arrived the Trolley stuck around did maybe 15 minutes or so. So we were able to walk out;, look around, then get right back on. Next time we go we'll bring our passports and my husband to check out the other side.

My first Amtrak trip since I was a child and I liked it overall…read more We rode from Fullerton to San Diego round trip. It was about $188 for business class both ways. It was at times a bit crowded and the noise levels were up and down throughout. People were constantly trying to ride in the business class from coach and the attendant was having to send them back to coach. One time way up the attendant didn't pass out snacks and drinks, but on the way back he passed out snacks and drinks. It's a great way to get from LA to San Diego and around other Southern California areas. There is a cafe cart in the middle of the train you have to walk around and down some stairs, around a bunch of people and the moving train. We will take the train again because we don't have to sit in traffic and drive. There is coach and business class- I liked the roomy seating area and there are bathrooms at the end of the train cars.

The many areas of the City of San Diego were not ready for such a storm as this with many parts are still digging and many of the areas of the city have lost many expensive cars and the luxurious cars are all completely destroyed. From the many news reports they may say we had only got four inches and some of the county may have only received two Inches the many houses and the many valleys were completely flooded. From the city of Lemon Grove, they will have to take many months to repair and the many trolley tracks that support the Orange Line that will be out of Commision.

From the rain damage had made travel an Issue with the orange Line that travel will be shut down.

The old town transit center is nice and provides free parking to use the trolleys, something so rare nowadays, and the trolleys themselves only cost about $2.50, which is also a price that can't be beat. One of my favorite things to do is utilize the transit to get to shows and venues like at the Gaslamp, the convention, or even Petco Park. Used it this weekend for survivor series, and it was such a lifesaver with parking, convenience, and easy access to get to the venue and back. I loved it, and I wish we had this exact smooth service in L.A.; ours sucks. There's no sugar coating that. L.A. needs to learn from San Diego and take notes.
