| 19. We've got a good one down here too. |

The light rail (Trolley), has been expanding over the past 25 years. The hub is downtown and lines go to the border, east county, Mission Valley and SDSU. Its always on time too.
Now if they could get a line along the beach route it would be great and help the parking horrors in those areas.
