All three Trolley Lines serve the doorstep to all the action  

San Diego – MTS is scheduling extra Trolley service to accommodate a sellout crowd expected at Petco Park for round two of Monster Energy AMA Supercross racing on Saturday. MTS has also activated mTicket, allowing attendees to purchase Trolley tickets on their smartphones and bypass the ticket vending machine.

Practice and qualifying begins at 12:30 p.m. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. and concludes around 10:30 p.m. All three Trolley lines drop off fans steps away from Petco Park at the 12th & Imperial Transit Center. The following Trolley schedule will apply on Saturday:

• Green Line (from Santee to 12th & Imperial) – Trains depart all stations every 15 minutes all day. Beginning at 5:08 p.m. trains will run every 7 ½ minutes from Qualcomm Stadium to Petco Park. Last train leaving downtown San Diego will depart at 11:36 p.m.
• UC San Diego Blue Line (from San Ysidro to 12th & Imperial) – Before and after the event, trains depart all stations every 15 minutes. Last train leaving downtown San Diego will depart at midnight. 
• Orange Line (from El Cajon to 12th & Imperial) – Before and after the event, trains depart every 15 minutes. Last train leaving downtown San Diego will depart at 12:03 a.m.Fans are encouraged to take the Trolley to Petco Park for the festivities due to limited parking available near the stadium and security screening measures at Petco Park.

The best locations to park and ride the Trolley to Petco Park are:

• Qualcomm Stadium: 5,000 free parking spots (Green Line, 30 minutes to Petco Park)
• Old Town Transit Center: 412 free parking spots (Green Line, 15 minutes to Petco Park)
