Watch the Dodgers take on the Angels August 4 and 5 at Dodger Stadium. Metrolink is offering special $7 round-trip tickets on the Orange County Line on game days. From Union Station, you can hop on the Dodger Stadium Express to get to the game.
Here’s the press release from Metrolink:
LOS ANGELES – Metrolink has partnered with Metro to provide special train service to the Los Angeles Dodgers versus Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim interleague play on August 4 and 5 at Dodger Stadium. This is the second year the special “Rail Series” train service will be offered through a special grant from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC).
This service was offered earlier this season as well, when the two teams squared off on March 27 and 28.
Special $7 round-trip tickets can be purchased the day of game at the ticket machines along the Orange County Line. Fans attending one of the Rail Series games will board Metrolink Orange County Line train 609 or 689 to Los Angeles Union Station.
From Union Station, fans will board the Dodger Stadium Express shuttle to Dodger Stadium at no additional cost. Following the game, fans will ride the Dodger Stadium Express back to Union Station to board the special Metrolink train making all station stops, except Commerce, back to Oceanside. The Rail Series special train will depart L.A. Union Station one hour after the end of the game.
This is the fifth consecutive year Metro is offering the Dodger Stadium Express bus service from Union Station to Dodger Stadium. The Dodger Stadium Express picks up Dodger fans at the Patsaouras Bus Plaza adjacent to the east portal of Union Station and continues to Dodger Stadium via Sunset Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Avenue.
A two-year grant of more than $1.1 million ($1,169,000) was awarded to Metro by the MSRC last year to fund the operation of the Dodger Stadium Express service for both the 2013 and 2014 Dodgers baseball seasons. The funding is made in support of clean fuel transit service to link Union Station to Dodger Stadium. The MSRC awards funding within the South Coast Air Basin from a portion of the vehicle registration fee set aside for mobile source projects that result in emission reductions.
Funding under the MSRC grant will be used to offset the cost of fares on the Dodger Stadium Express bus service for passengers possessing a Dodger ticket. Service will be provided starting 90 minutes prior to the beginning of the games and will end 45 minutes after the end of the game.
