METRO BUS SERVICE FROM HOLLYWOOD/VINE SUBWAY STATION TO HOLLYWOOD BOWL RESUMES SATURDAY; DISCOUNT SEATS AVAILABLE

Versión en español
Metro passengers, who take the Metro Bus Hollywood Bowl Shuttle 163 from the Hollywood/Vine Metro Rail subway station when service resumes June 16, also the beginning of the Hollywood Bowl performance season, arrive to shows relaxed by avoiding parking lot nightmares, and can save money on tickets.

Discounts of 20 percent will be offered to Metro passengers who present a Metro pass, bus transfer or rail ticket at the Hollywood Bowl box office for bench seat sections for any performance listed in a Metro brochure now being circulated on Metro Buses and Metro Rail trains. Copies of the brochure also may be obtained by calling 1-800-COMMUTE or visiting a Metro Customer Center.

 Patrons can ride the Metro Bus Hollywood Bowl Shuttle 163 from the Hollywood/Vine Metro Rail subway station to the Hollywood Bowl for free with proof of a valid round-trip Metro Rail ticket, transfer or Metro pass, or pay the exact fare of $1.35. Metro discount tokens (90 cents each in bags of 10) are also acceptable.

Transportation on Line 163 to the Hollywood Bowl, available through the Bowl season, will begin three hours before each performance at intervals of every 20 minutes. The last shuttle bus will leave the station 30 minutes before showtime. Return trips to the station start 20 minutes after the show and continue until approximately 11:45 p.m.

Returning passengers without a Metro Rail round-trip ticket or Metro pass must pay the base fare of $1.35 but may purchase a transfer to continue their trip on Metro Rail.
