Metro To Kick Off Dodger Stadium Express Service For 2015 Season

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Looking to avoid Stadium Way on game day?

Fans looking to make it to any Dodgers home game this season can start taking the Dodger Stadium Express beginning with the April 4 exhibition game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The express bus service from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles to Dodger Stadium will continue through the entire 2015 season.

Fans with Dodger tickets will be able to use the service - which will provide a vast network of buses and trains coming into Union Station, including additional late-night service on three of its popular lines - about 90 minutes prior to the beginning of the games until about 45 minutes after the game.

There's even an option for fans in the South Bay: the Dodger Stadium Express South Bay will provide service from the Harbor Gateway Transit Center starting two hours before game time and every 15 minutes thereafter.

Los Angeles County Supervisor and Metro Board Chairman Don Knabe said wherever you're coming from, taking the Dodger Stadium Express just makes sense.

"We encourage fans to take advantage of public throughout the season to save time and money," said Knabe.

Last year more than 122,000 fans rode the express, according to officials.
