Unofficial Press Release (meaning it is offered sans opinion regarding  
Dodger management, pro or con, and strictly for informational purposes -
or in  
other words, I don't mind starting a war, but I don't want to take part
in 
this  one; nevertheless, it is useful information).

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Beginning with the Dodgers pre-game series April 1 
and through the  regular 2010 baseball season, Metro will offer Dodger
Stadium 
Express bus  service from Union Station.  
The Dodger Stadium Express bus service will be offered starting 90
minutes  
before the beginning of games and for 45 minutes after the end of a game.
 
Service will be provided every 10 minutes prior to the start of the game
and 
run  approximately every 30 minutes throughout the game.  
The Dodger Express bus will pick up fans at the Patsaouras Bus Plaza 
adjacent  to the east portal of Union Station, and continue to the stadium
via 
Sunset  Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Avenue. Passengers will be dropped off
and 
picked up  in the Dodgers parking lot behind left/center field. 
 
Dodgers admission ticket will serve as payment to ride the clean-burning 

compressed natural gas buses. Those without a ticket will pay regular
one-way 
 fare of $1.25.  
Metro is using a $300,000 grant from the Mobile Source Air Pollution  
Reduction Review Committee to provide clean fuel transit service to link
Union  
Station to Dodger Stadium. The committee awards funding within the South 
Coast  Air Basin from a portion of the vehicle registration fee set aside
for 
projects  that reduce emissions.
