Metro launches free shuttle service connecting C Line and K Line stations to Intuit Dome
Metro Adds Shuttle Service to Intuit Dome
LA Clippers fans can now ride Metro trains and a free shuttle to reach Intuit Dome for games, transit officials said Tuesday. The service connects two Metro rail lines to the new Inglewood arena, which opened as the Clippers' home venue this season. Officials announced the transportation options January 14, though they didn't specify how frequently shuttles run or whether service operates for all games.
Two Rail Lines Serve the Arena
The shuttle service links Intuit Dome to Metro's C Line and K Line, providing fans multiple ways to reach games without driving. C Line riders exit at Hawthorne/Lennox station, while K Line passengers use Inglewood/LAX Metro Transit Center. Transit agencies typically add special event service to major venues to reduce traffic congestion and parking demand. Officials didn't say how long shuttle trips take from either station to the arena.
Free Shuttles Complement Bus Routes
Metro operates free shuttles between both rail stations and Intuit Dome on game days, officials said. The service supplements existing bus routes 115, 117, and 212, which also serve the arena area. Officials didn't provide details about shuttle capacity, wait times between vehicles, or whether advance reservations are needed. The agency announced the options through its social media channels, though specific ridership projections for the service weren't available.
Service Available for Current Season
The transportation options are available for the current Clippers season, which runs through spring. Officials didn't say whether the shuttle service will continue for future seasons or expand to other events at Intuit Dome beyond basketball games. Metro typically evaluates special event services after initial implementation to determine ridership levels and operational efficiency.
Multiple Options for Game Day Travel
Fans attending Clippers games can choose between rail-and-shuttle connections or direct bus service to reach Intuit Dome. The free shuttle service aims to make public transit a convenient alternative to driving and parking at the arena. Moovit provides real-time arrival information for Metro's C Line, K Line, and connecting bus routes serving the venue.
