The trolley will be crowded. If you don't mind the crowd and the travel time, it's a cheaper option. It's $2.50 one-way per person over 5. So if you're daughter is older, you're looking at $10.00 per day round trip. You can always Lyft or Uber it in. For me I don't mind taking the trolley but that is only if I am by myself or riding with other adults or older kids. If your daughter is little, you might not want to be on a crowded trolley. I wouldn't. There is a lot of walking at the con. So walking to the trolley, plus the crowd on the trolley and at the con...might be overwhelming.That said, If I had the money to comfortably drive in and park close to the con, I'd opt for that. Lol. As far as Mission Hills, I don't know the area. But you can check it out via Google Earth. That's what I do, so I can get an idea of what the area looks like.Good luck! And have fun. SDCC is a lot of fun, especially the first time.
Pro tip for #SDCC2019! Our friends at @SycuanCasino will provide a free shuttle to the El Cajon Transit Center, then it's a one-seat ride all the way to the Convention Center & Gaslamp Quarter #choosetransit #SDCC
The trolley shouldn’t be too bad until you actually get to old town. I’d personally skip driving.
Not just multi-day discounts, but they will also offer a special SDCC pass for all 4 days.
It never makes sense to buy a one way ticket on San Diego public transit unless you are only going one way. The price of a daypass is the same price as a roundtrip. If you buy a multiday pass then it's cheaper.
The only situation where a buying two one way tickets is fine is if you only plan on making two trips and don't have a compass card to load the daypass as you have to pay a one time $2 fee to get one. One way tickets still use the paper stub while the normal daypasses require a compass card. Or you can just use the phone app to buy a daypass.
As you mentioned, use your phone as your daypass. Or keep your compass card from last year. They do expire but it's in years. I think all the time I've lived in San Diego I've only had to get two compass cards. I think my current one is my last. I'm moving to the app. Compass cards are finicky. I've had problems before like where it takes my payment but it's not recorded on the card. Then you have to go to that one office in downtown San Diego to try to get a refund. It's not worth the effort so I eat it. That can't happen with the app.
We’re getting there! We can share that it’s the most #SDCC wraps we’ve ever had. 50!
Here's the first look at the MTS commemorative passes for #SDCC2019. Better yet, you can get them starting tomorrow at the Transit Store! The Transit Store is open M-F 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. (#SDCC passes for Compass Cloud mobile app will be available for purchase starting 7/1.) #SDCC50
I'm sorry if this has been answered, but can you take the trolley from the airport to the gaslamp area?
No, the trolley doesn't go to the airport. You'd have to take an MTS bus to Santa Fe Depot and get the trolley there, but at that point you're practically in the Gaslamp anyway.
