Getting to the San Diego Convention Center for Comic-Con this year will look a little different.<\/p>\n

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System on Tuesday will unveil its “Magic: The Gathering Event Line<\/a>,” which will serve as the limited direct line for the four days of Comic-Con at the San Diego Convention Center in Downtown San Diego.<\/p>\n

“San Diego Comic-Con is one of the region’s most celebrated events, bringing together creativity, imagination and wonder,” said Stephen Whitburn, MTS board chair and San Diego City Councilman.<\/p>\n

The trolley line will run every 15 minutes<\/a> from Thursday through Sunday. <\/p>\n

“Magic: The Gathering,” a collectible trading card game, will be the sponsor of MTS’ Special Event Line. Whitburn in a news release thanked the company for “making transit an integral part of the Comic-Con experience for the tens of thousands of fans from around the world.”<\/p>\n

“This partnership helps connect thousands of attendees to the excitement of the convention while supporting safe, convenient, and sustainable transportation throughout our region.”<\/p>\n

Last year, more than 117,000 trips were taken on the special event line, which operates between Balboa Avenue Transit Center and 12th & Imperial Transit Center.<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership, Comic-Con attendees will see “Magic: The Gathering” branding throughout the transit system, including on maps, onboard rider guides, station announcements and digital displays.<\/p>\n

MTS will also have custom-designed trolley banks celebrating the Con and giveaways. Riders can also receive an MTS limited edition SDCC pin, available for $15 at the 12th and Imperial trolley station starting Monday.<\/p>\n
