===History===
The agency was founded on July 3, 1886
In 1922, the first bus went into service in San Diego, spearheading the future of the San Diego Electric Railway Company. In 1946, as the bus routes' popularity started to rise, the decision to discontinue the electric rail was reached. In 1948, a change in ownership happened and the company again changed its name to the "San Diego transit System." As time went on, the ridership for public transportation decreased, as it did in the 1920s even though the population exponentially increased.
In 1967, voters agreed that the city of San Diego should take over as the head of the transit system, even though ridership was dipping as the year continued. The agency finally changed to its current name, the "Metropolitan Transit System". In 1980, the trolley was introduced, increasing ridership almost instantly. It traveled from Downtown San Diego to the International Border. In 1986, the Orange Line was introduced, giving San Diego State's students access to the trolley. In 1989, the Orange Line expanded to the City of La Mesa. In the following years, the trolley created and expanded its routes, to include the Blue and Green Lines. In 2021, the Blue Line extended and connect the trolley with the University of California: San Diego's Campus.<ref>https://www.sdmts.com/about/history</ref>

Built in 1929
As air travel was getting more and more popular, there was a need to either expand or move location. In 1967, the decision to expand the facility was met and the second terminal was eventually created. In 2003, the airport finally was changed to its current name, The San Diego International Airport.<ref>https://simpleflying.com/san-diego-international-airport-history/</ref>
