Use Foothill Transit Rose Bowl shuttle service to live Rose Bowl events so you can avoid traffic and parking.

Go car(e) free to live events at the Rose Bowl. Let us take care of the driving, so you can sit back, relax, and avoid the hassle of Rose Bowl traffic and parking. The shuttle is a straight shot to the front gates of the Rose Bowl. Park your car at the Parsons parking lot. You can also take Line 187 to Raymond and Walnut to catch the Foothill Transit Rose Bowl shuttle. Look for the line of people — don’t worry about the line, it moves quickly — and in mere minutes you’ll be on your way to the stadium.

Location, times, and prices

Shuttles start running from the Parsons parking lot on Pasadena Ave just north of Union St. Times and prices vary by event. For times, please see the events list below. For shuttle pricing, please view the Rose Bowl event page. Before you board the bus, make sure all food and drink is in sealed, spill-proof containers. This is to avoid slips, trips, and falls and to keep our buses clean and safe for everyone. If you have a drink in a disposable container, please finish it and dispose of it before you board. Also, keep in mind the Rose Bowl’s bag policy, which you can find on their list of stadium rules and prohibited items.

Where to find the best mooncakes

The Chinese mid-autumn Moon Festival, or zhong qiu jie, falls this year on Tuesday, September 17.

One of the traditions of this holiday is to give mooncakes to friends and loved ones. These are small pastries stuffed with lotus, dates, or red bean, and maybe a salted duck egg yolk. You’re not supposed to buy them for yourself, so if you want to try them, you’ll have to give them to someone you think will share with you!

Luckily for us, we live in one of our country’s delicious mooncake epicenters — the San Gabriel Valley. Our buses can’t take you to the moon, but they can definitely get you to a mooncake or three.
