there will be no service on Rapid Express Routes 280 or 290, or Rural Routes 888, 891 and 894

MTS Access subscription passengers wanting a ride must call ahead of time to arrange transportation
travelers can get to the airport via Route 992, next to the Santa Fe Depot, or the San Diego Airport Flyer from the Old Town Transit Center
The Friends Ride Free promotion will also be available on Thanksgiving Day, allowing one guest of a fare-paying adult to ride free on any MTS service, officials said.
Youth may also use the MTS for free with the Youth Opportunity Pass Program. Details are at sdmts.com/fares/youth-opportunity-pass-program.

During the busy holiday weekend, Petco Park on Saturday will host the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.
MTS will increase its Green Line trolley service “to help fans get to and from the event with ease,” MTS said.
