How to use public transit to get to Dodgers’ championship parade – NBC Los Angeles

The city of Los Angeles is buzzing with excitement over the Dodgers’ World Series victory, and as fans gear up to welcome the team back home, officials and Metro are offering guidance on how to get to the festivities.

The team will coast through downtown Los Angeles Monday on double-decker buses in a parade that’s scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Immediately after, a special ticketed event will be held at Dodger Stadium.

With road closures set to block access to the parade route and parking expected to be packed in Chavez Ravine, local leaders and transportation officials are urging fans to take public transit to either festivity.

The parade’s route will begin at Temple Street and Broadway, then head west on Temple, south on Grand Avenue, west on 7th Street, and north on Figueroa Street before ending at 5th Street.

Metro’s Blue (A), Red (B), Purple (D) and Gold (E) line all have stops near the parade route. The transportation agency highlighted the following rail stations as being nearby:

• Union Station – Lines A, B and D
• Little Tokyo/Arts District – Lines A and E
