If I get to Amtrak on sat early am like 5 is there a trolly going there where can I check?is it free or do I pre pay?
If you take the Amtrak to the Santa Fe Depot, there is a trolley stop AT the Santa Fe Depot. You simply cross the trolley tracks when you get off the train and pick up the trolley from there to the Convention Center.
In previous years, you would have to take a trolley from Santa Fe Depot to the American Plaza Station and switch to the Orange Line that would then go down to the Convention Center. You MIGHT still have that issue, because I don't know if they'll have a "Special Event" trolley running from Old Town to the Convention Center at the time you might arrive. If they don't, here's what you do:
1) Debark the train and walk through the Santa Fe Depot.
2) Cross Kettner Blvd.
3) Walk into the American Plaza transit station and purchase your trolley ticket to the Convention Center (Orange Line).
Seriously, it's like, 50 ft., if that?
And that way, you get one one trolley and don't have to worry, "Geez, did I get on an Orange Line or a Blue Line trolley that's not going by the convention center?" Right there at that area, it's a
[email protected]$#@ of bad design and confusion for mass transit.
Just want to help everyone, my dad and I have suffered through this for several years now when we've gone down to pick up badges.
