MTS is forecasting annual budget deficits of up to $150 million. To address this, the transit provider shared scenarios that could eliminate one third of MTS bus routes, including service to Sea World, Cabrillo Monument, Mission Hills, and Tierra Santa. These scenarios would also reduce service on another third of bus routes and all four trolley lines.
