This transit center serves SDSU and the encompassing area. There are over half a dozen routes that stop or end here including the heavily utilized green line trolley and the rabid bus 215. During the school year, the trolley experiences heavy travel which can cause delays.
The buses are staggered on the above ground platform while the trolley is underground. My only gripe with this system is that the schools wifi doesn’t reach either of those places, despite there being dorms and school facilities further than the transit platforms.
In addition to the students, you’ll regularly see commuters and tourists using the trolley to travel. There are convenient ticket vending machines in the middle level of the platform, although the credit card readers can be a little finicky at times.

SDSU Transit Center is your college public transit hub. Bus stops up top and the trolley station underground, the area looks great. However, it still seems a bit trashy and the fact that the tracks for the trolley are separated by a fence is a bit weird. There is a security station at the transit center but it still doesn’t feel all that safe late at night when there is little foot traffic. There are some nice places to eat around the area but obviously this is here for the college and not much else. Overall this is a pretty cool station and it would be nice if San Diego implemented more underground locations for other areas that a trolley station would be very convenient.

Hop on the trolley here when you’re taking the green line towards downtown and want to beat that whole traffic/​parking headache. Not sure what the negative reviews are all about for this station. Every time I’ve used this station it’s clean, safe and convenient — not only for SDSU students, but also those in the nearby neighborhoods (aka this guy). Every time I’ve been here the trains are running right on time and there is security nearby making sure no funny business is going down (let’s face it: public transit attracts its fare share of people who like to aggressively babble to themselves).
Plus am I right that this is San Diego’s one and only subterranean (i.e. subway) station? So cool! And $ 5 all-​day passes? So worth it.
Fun fact: Starting at this station, we took the trolley all the way down to TJ where a zonkey ended up biting my wife.

A-​OK station located underground in the transit center of the campus. The Green Line only comes in this direction, but it is possible to switch to the Blue and Orange Lines at other transit areas. The station is maintained very well so you will not find those shady bums like at the other trolley stations

This station is not that old and already looks like a bomb has hit it. Way to go Metropolitan Transit!
Phones have been ripped from the walls and half covered by faceplates, numerous neon tubes in the ceiling are either out or blinking like they are about to fail, several of the scrolling message signs no longer work, and several of the platform lights were out or on their last legs.
Does San Diego Transit ever invest in their stations at all?
2 Stars is being generous. One star for the conditions and one star for actually extending this needed service to SDSU.

San Diego State has the Trolley’s first and only subway station. While the Blue Line does not come to campus, it is possible for party-​school students to take a train to the Gaslamp or TJ even if it’s not a one-​seat ride.
Besides all of what the campus offers, the Student Union has fast food available and the campus is also the home to Cox Arena.
The university is also a bus hub, hence the name Transit Center.
Connections: Metropolitan Transit System lines 11, 14, 15 (limited stops long El Cajon Boulevard), 115, 936 and 955.
