Metro's Dodger Stadium Express to Kick Expands For 2025 Season

LOS ANGELES, CA — Metro's Dodger Stadium Express service for fans with tickets to home games is set to kick off this week.

The free service will start Thursday for the home opener against the Detroit Tigers, according to the transit agency.

The agency is also extending pre-game service by one hour for the 2025 season to encourage earlier trips and more evenly distribute passengers. Express buses will now begin taking fans to Dodger Stadium two-and-a-half hours before the games.

Fans can board the Dodger Stadium Express at the following locations:

Los Angeles Union Station

• New Boarding Location: Union Station service will operate outside Union Station West, in front of Fred Harvey, adjacent to Alameda Street. Service starts two-and-a-half hours prior to the start of the game and will continue until the end of the second inning.
• 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.
• Baseball fans are encouraged to use the numerous 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.
