How to ride the free Dodgers bus for opening day and all home games

Metro is offering free service to Dodger Stadium beginning tomorrow, which is Opening Day for the World Series Champions.

Fans with tickets for Dodger home games can take the L.A. Metro Dodger Stadium Express for free to Dodger Stadium for the game. The service starts at 1:10 p.m.

To encourage earlier trips and more evenly distribute passenger boardings, L.A. Metro is extending pre-game service by one hour for the 2025 season. Express buses will now begin taking fans to Dodger Stadium two-and-a-half hours before the game and will continue until the end of the second inning.  

The free service will be available every Dodger home game, starting with the Dodger home opener against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, March 27. 

Fans can board the Dodger Stadium Express at Los Angeles Union Station in a new boarding location outside Union Station West, in front of Fred Harvey, adjacent to Alameda Street. 

Return service runs until 45 minutes after the final out or 20 minutes after post-game events. 

Passengers can use two stops at the ballpark, either behind center field or at the top deck. 

There are public transportation alternatives that serve Union Station to connect with the Dodger Stadium Express, including the Metro A, B, D or J Line, Metrolink, Amtrak and municipal bus operators. 

The B and D Line trains will be out of service between Union Station and 7th St/Metro Center beginning Friday, March 28 through Sunday, March 30, 2025. Connect to the Metro A Line for DTLA service to/from Union Station.

The Dodger Express buses will also be at the Harbor Gateway Transit Center in Gardena at Bay 9.  Buses will operate every 30 minutes. Service begins two-and-a-half hours prior to the start of the game and ends 45 minutes after games are over or 20 minutes after a post-game event.

Fans can also board Dodger Stadium Express buses operating along the I-110 at Slauson, Manchester, Harbor Freeway and Rosecrans stations. 

Buses back to the Harbor Gateway Transit Center will pick up customers at the same location after the game, behind right center field. 

The Harbor Gateway Transit Center is also served by several Metro bus lines, the Metro J Line (Silver) and Torrance Transit. Regular fares apply on these connecting bus and rail services.
