Buses & Trolleys
Commuting to campus by bus or trolley is a safe and convenient alternative to driving. The Metropolitan Transit System’s Green Line Trolley has a station right in the heart of campus at the SDSU Transit Center. All bus routes serving the university and the Green Line Trolley stop at the SDSU Transit Center, which is conveniently located next to the Aztec Student Union. The Green Line Trolley runs every 15 minutes most of the day and provides access between the SDSU campus and Mission Valley, Fashion Valley, Old Town and downtown San Diego. MTS also has many bus routes that connects students throughout the region. One of the most popular bus routes is Rapid 215 – a high frequency, limited stop service between SDSU and downtown San Diego, serving communities such as North Park, Normal Heights, City Heights University Heights and Balboa Park.
