Adventures in Public Transportation

Being at a Dodger Game - Fun. Driving to and from a Dodger Game - Not So Fun. Parking at Dodger Stadium - $15. Hence, this experiment. Ride to the Gold Line in Sierra Madre in friend Rich's car (1/2 hour). Gold Line to Union Station (1/2 hour - $1.50).* Free Dodger Shuttle to Dodger Stadium (1/2 hour).
Buy cheap seats in the upper deck. View is pretty good, even if the players are the size of mites. Final Score - Reds 3, Dodgers 1.
Reverse field. Free Dodger Shuttle to Union Station - (1 hour). Gold Line to Sierra Madre Villas - (1/2 hour). Drive home - 1/2 hour. Home by 12:15 a.m.

Not sure we'll do it again that way, but it WAS an adventure!

*Meet friends Joyce, Tom, and Allison on the Gold Line, quite serendipitously and enjoy a fun conversation until we leave the shuttle bus and disappear into the crowds - Priceless.
