After making a last minute decision to go to tonight's Dodgers game, I investigate my options on how to best minimize the impact of traffic. This being my first playoff game, I figure I should probably avoid driving to the stadium istelf...which gives me the choice of taking trains plus shuttle bus or dealing with traffic driving to and from a train station (and still dealing with a shuttle bus) or dealing with traffic driving to a stop for the Dodgers Express Shuttle. The first choice would take the longest because I would have to change trains a couple of times.
I ultimately went with the Dodgers Express shuttle because it put me closer to and with less chance of dealing with traffic driving home, it has fewer stops en route than the train, and because fare is included with my Dodgers ticket. What I did not expect was difficulty finding a parking spot (I have never had any issues finding a spot at the Transit Center before). Took 18 minutes of circling the lot before I found someone leaving a spot.
