At the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog, we’re big supporters of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System — not just because it’s one of the easiest ways to get around the city during Comic-Con, but because MTS fully embraces the spirit of the convention.

From their beloved trolley wraps to their annual attendee-friendly perks and extended service, MTS has become an essential part of the Comic-Con experience.

This year, they’re once again offering discounted multi-day passes exclusively for Comic-Con attendees, available through the PRONTO app. Passes will go on sale Monday, July 6 through the PRONTO app, so you can skip the hassle and ride in style. No need to worry about parking or traffic when you’re headed to Hall H!

Unfortunately, there will not be physical event specific cards this year.

Prices are:

• 5-Day Pass (July 22-26): $23
• 4-Day Pass (July 23-26): $18.50
• 3-Day Pass (July 24-26): $13
• 2-Day Pass (July 25-26): $10

[UPDATE July 16]

Starting on Monday, July 20th MTS Riders can purchase the 2026 MTS Limited Edition San Diego Comic-Con enamel pin at the Transit Store at 12th and Imperial. Store hours are Monday – Friday from 8am to 5pm.

Two pop-up events will also delight riders of all ages with giveaways of customer designed SDCC paper trolley banks and some lucky attendees will receive a free MTS Comic-Con Pin.

• Thursday, July 24 from 7am – 9am (or while supplies last) at 12th & Imperial
• Friday, July 25 from 7am – 9am (or while supplies last) at Balboa Avenue Transit Center

The MTS Special Event Line is now the MTG Special Event Line…as in Magic: The Gathering. The line will run every 15 minutes between the Balboa Avenue Transit Center and 12th and Imperial from Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26th. Select trolleys will be wrapped in special Magic: The Gathering artwork, including a few that will include wrapping INSIDE the trolley, a very special occasion indeed. Please see our special Trolley Wrap Post for photos and updates of all wraps.

Just like last year, they will be offering expanded service during the convention through a special event Trolley line beginning Thursday, July 23, which will serve UC San Diego Blue Line stations between Balboa Avenue and Santa Fe Depot, and then continue along the Green Line path between Santa Fe Depot and 12th & Imperial.

Attendees looking to utilize MTS’s Park & Ride options will want to make note of a few changes:
