Blue Line trains will depart every 15 minutes immediately after the conclusion of the show as needed, then every 30 minutes until just before midnight. Orange Line will have an additional trip then every 30 minutes until about 10pm. Between Santa Fe Depot and Old Town, trips will be about every five minutes for one hour after the Fireworks.

Buy a Transit Ticket on your Smart Phone with PRONTO

Download the PRONTO App to your phone, then load money onto your app ahead of time. Alternatively, you can also pick-up and add money to a PRONTO card (one-time $2 fee) at any Trolley ticket machine or any participating retail network location. Tap or scan your PRONTO card/app at a station validator every time you ride! A one-way fare will be deducted (valid for free transfers for two hours), up to the value of a Day Pass. We recommend loading at least enough money for a round-trip to save time after the fireworks! You can also add more money to your account for future use (money added to PRONTO never expires).
