Luckily, the NFL season is upon us again. The Rams will defend their Super Bowl title and the Chargers are fighting to return to the playoffs.
Metro’s SoFi Stadium Shuttle will again serve all Rams and Chargers games – including preseason and playoffs – at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood this season. The shuttle is free, but regular fares apply on other subway bus and train routes.
The SoFi Stadium Shuttle operates between the C Line’s Hawthorne/Lennox Station and the stadium.
To plan your trip, download the Transit app or visit www.metro.net. Regular subway fares are $1.75 and include two hours of free transportation.
To pay for your fare, TAP cards can be purchased from TAP machines at all Metro Rail stations. TAP Pro Tip: Load your TAP card with the round-trip fare before your game and avoid the queues at the TAP machines after your game. Drivers can use their smartphones as a TAP card by downloading the TAP app available at Apple App Store and Google play store.
