'''Washington Street station''' is an at-grade station on the [[Blue Line (San Diego Trolley)|Blue Line]] and [[Green Line (San Diego Trolley)|Green Line]] of the [[San Diego Trolley]] system. It is located along the [[Surf Line]] right of way at West Washington Street, in a largely industrial area of [[San Diego]]. The stop also serves the [[Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego]] and the [[Mission Hills, San Diego, California|Mission Hills]] neighborhood, which includes a variety of [[medium-density housing]] within blocks of the station.
'''San Ysidro Transit Center''' is a [[San Diego Trolley]] station in the [[San Ysidro, San Diego|San Ysidro]] neighborhood of [[San Diego, California]]. The station is the southern terminus of the [[Blue Line (San Diego Trolley)|Blue Line]] and is located on a short rail spur of the [[San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway]].


Located just north of the [[San Ysidro Port of Entry]] at the [[Mexico–United States border]], San Ysidro serves primarily as a way to provide access to downtown for the thousands of international commuters and tourists who travel between [[San Diego County]] and [[Tijuana, Mexico]].

San Ysidro Transit Center is a San Diego Trolley station in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego, California. The station is the southern terminus of the Blue Line and is located on a short rail spur of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway.

Located just north of the San Ysidro Port of Entry at the Mexico–United States border, San Ysidro serves primarily as a way to provide access to downtown for the thousands of international commuters and tourists who travel between San Diego County and Tijuana, Mexico. It also provides access to the large shopping areas, including the Las Americas Premium Outlets which are connected to the stop via a pedestrian walkway. An intercity bus station is located adjacent to the station.[5][6] It is the second busiest station in the San Diego Trolley, with nearly 18,000 passengers using the station each day.[7]

History

San Ysidro opened as part of the initial 15.9-mile (25.6 km) "South Line" of the San Diego Trolley system on July 26, 1981, operating from San Ysidro north to Downtown San Diego.[3]

This station was scheduled to undergo renovation starting December 2014,[8] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project,[9] though actual renovation construction did not begin until January 2015.[10] Renovation construction at the station continued through December 2015[4] before completion. There are future plans for the station. A proposed Purple Line is to start its route at San Ysidro, and future plans for the Blue Line to continue into Tijuana are awaiting approval. If it is to be made, San Ysidro would be the third to last stop for the blue line.

Station layout

The station has two tracks, each with platforms on either side.
