Iris Transit Center- Serving South Bay…read more Either catch a bus or ride the trolley. There are several bus lines here that all begin with 9-- this is an indicator the bus is part of the South Bay region of the Metropolitan Transit System, San Diego. No businesses or snacks except the vending machine at the trolley that will usually eat your money or not vend the product. No bathrooms or places to go. Unless you walk North toward Palm Ave about 0.3 miles. Yet, there is a taco truck across the street. I see lots of folks but never tried the food. Although a couple of buses go to downtown San Diego or Coronado, Iris is their origin. Most buses run late or miss the time designated on the MTS app. Plan ahead. Buses are clean and well maintained and fast. I'm certain speeding laws are broken. But I get where I am going with no complaints. Disabled and wheelchair accessible and the driver's do assist with a smile. BTW, most stops are in safe places. And no bus will stop by chasing it down. Shucks!

There are many times that I like to ride the bus and the trolley with the many stations there are…read moremany stations which have many express buses that take you to the many other yet there was one place that I wanted to see was the Otay Mesa Transit Center. Living in the area of National City there was coverage about the station yet when I went to ask about the buses, they had no permanent schedule for the buses that would be servicing the area of the Otay Mesa Transit Center. Iris Avenue is one station is that has many buses many of them service the South Bay areas of San Diego and the areas of San Ysidro with the many buses they have their many of the drivers do not speak English. With the Iris Avenue Transit Center is one station that has great connection to the blue line with the connections to the city and the apartments where you find the trolley center that goes through the middle of the housing and apartments that are located nearby. The day I took out for myself to go and take a look at the new system that was built to service the Otay Mesa Transit Center and the neighborhoods along the way. I was able to take the 976 buses to the 24th street station where you can catch the two Blue Lines which you can take to the American Plaza and the UTC Transit Center. With trolley and bus travel you can save much more money with the gas prices that go up and down. Boarding the trolley was not bad with many people on board mixture of students and the ones that were going to work passing the many stations you see the Blue Line as it fills up more when it gets closer to the international border. When you arrive at the Iris Avenue Transit center you can see the many buses and the long line of Transit Parking spaces for riders and the wide Bus area for the many routes. The many bus routes they have in the station there are many buses which change out and one to two buses that are put on standby. Travel at the Iris Avenue Station there are the many buses which can save you time yet there are one that leave on the hour many others which depart at the thirty-minute mark. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer, the many changes that I have seen at the many stations is to increase the security and to have random ticket stops yet there are many that do not tap their card tells others you can steal a ride. The station has been one that I see many things of the sellers of merchandise and the roadside sellers which the City of San Diego has banned being close to the Trolley Center is one where trouble begins. Safe travel to all and to keep your personals and notify family if you are crossing the border.

From the Introduction of the many stations along the way which gave the many areas the city and the many areas of the county the way to travel to the many areas of the East County and the many areas of the South Bay. With the Introduction of the trolley that the city of Santee was against the Idea of the San Diego Trolley coming to the city of Santee with the station in the middle of the town. City of Santes has been one that has extensive history prior to joining the Union in September 9, 1850, California was governed at different times by both Spain and Mexico. Today remains of the Spanish Influence can still be seen in the Old Historic Misson Dam Site at the west entrance of the city. With the many years that you find that the city of Santee has the well-designed shopping mall with the many department's stores with the large Target that is located near the Trolley which you can access through the main parking lot. The many changes in the season that you can in the city of Santee and the color of the leaves that change color at Santee Trolley Town Center. The original history of Santee was part of Rancho El Cajon, a Mexican era rancho grant owned by the family of Don Miguel de Pedro Rena, a Calif Ranchero and the singer of the California Constitution. Santee Town center has so many years to see the true history of Santee and the many surrounding areas to see Santee's back history. The design of trolley the Green Line that services from the 12th and imperial is one that has brought so much to Santee. As a yelp Elite Reviewer that when the Trolley was being Introduced to Santee it was an issue that Santee had stated they didn't want the problems that would come from the trolley. After the many years the trolley has changed the look of Santee making travel much easier for those that go to work in Downtown San Diego. With Santee Town Center has been one place that has surprised so many with the many retails and grocery stores that are located close by. In closing with the end of the year Santee Town Center has been an excellent location with the many new bus routes to help with connecting to the San Diego Trolley Green Line. Happy Holidays to one and all safe travel to all.

I have fond memories of the train and when I see it around town I can't help but smile. Making preparations for a trip on the trolley does make the process smoother, the MTS site allows you to plan trips by entering an address and also purchasing fare online, so simple!

College Grove was the most widely used with the movie that was run by Mann Thater's you could catch the bus at the Massachusetts Street Station that would take you up to College Grove where you could go shopping and enjoy the outside food court which is no longer at College Grove. 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. To use a very long wall and to create one of the largest art pieces to put in so many hours with a finished piece that looks like seeing a movie come to life on the wall incredible to see and to have art like that iss one for the Trolley System. Happy Holidays to one and all Merry Christmas.

For the Spring Street Trolley was one that you could get on and take into Lemon Grove to go to College Grove Shopping Center. Spring Street has been station that when the storm had washed through many areas some of the stations were destroyed with the many workers of Calif and the SDTransit things were taken back to the start . Spring Street is one station that can catch the busses that take you into Spring Valley for many people board at the station for the ball games and concerts. For the next large event that will be going to the city of Lamesa Village the Oktoberfest is one of the Largest.

You can purchase tickets at the station before board the trolley you can also purchase the Pronto cards that you can load and use for the trolley they can be used on the trolley. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the spring Street is one of the larger stations the parking areas you can find near the trolley . Easy access to the disabled ramp when the trolley comes in you can catch on both sides of the platform. For the first time riders its a smooth ride into Lamesa and the Downtown Area with the Orange Line you can take in both directions . Happy Travels

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.

Opened in July 2005 as part of the Mission Valley East extension, it is one stop east of the only underground station in the system at SDSU Transit Center. The station serves the Alvarado Medical Center, which is across the street from the station. There is not very much to see or do around this station, but a unique and noticable feature of the station is a riddle engraved into the tiles on the wall that separates the station from Interstate 8 freeway. The riddle is more conspicuous when standing on the eastbound platform. Roman De Salvo created this public art installation in 2005. The riddle can possibly entice transit riders into looking around for its answer while waiting for a train to pull into the station. The answer to the riddle is found on a handrail at the east end of the station, engraved in Braille. Although there is limited street parking around the station, there is no transit parking at the site. Parking is available at 70th Street Station, which is the next station east of this station.
