context_page_description: The San Diego Trolley is a light rail system operating in the metropolitan area of San Diego. It is known colloquially as "The Trolley". The Trolley's operator, San Diego Trolley, Inc., is a subsidiary of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System. The Trolley began service on July 26, 1981, making it the oldest of the second-generation light rail systems in the United States. The entire Trolley network serves 53 stations, and comprises 53.5 miles of route, and three primary lines named the Blue Line, the Orange Line, and the Green Line, as well as a supplementary heritage streetcar downtown circulator known as the Silver Line that operates on select weekdays, weekends and holidays. In 2019, the Trolley was the 5th most-ridden light rail system in the United States, with 38,047,300 annual rides, an average of 117,700 rides per weekday.
  The San Diego Trolley is operated by MTS, which is one of the oldest transit systems in Southern California dating back to the 1880s, although its operating names have changed over the years.
context_section_description: The San Diego Trolley system has 55 stations serving its four Trolley lines.
  Fourteen of the Trolley system's stations operate as transfer stations, which allow passengers to transfer between lines.  There are two universal transfer points (i.e., allowing transfers among all four lines) in the system in downtown San Diego: the 12th & Imperial Transit Center station, and the America Plaza/Santa Fe Depot stations.  Six Trolley stations are end-of-line stations.  Of the 53 San Diego Trolley stations, 37 stations are within the city limits of San Diego, serving various neighborhoods in San Diego; the other 16 stations are located in the cities of Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, and Santee.
  Most of the stations in the San Diego Trolley system are 'at-grade' stations.  There are 8 aerial stations, mostly on the newer Green Line. There is just one Trolley station in the system that is underground – the SDSU Transit Center station – also on the Green Line.
  About half of San Diego Trolley stations offer free park and ride lots. Most Trolley stations offer connections to MTS bus lines.
