Shuttle service for Dodger Stadium

Re “Let me out of the ballgame, let me be free of crowds,” April 11

So Dodger ownership has actually succeeded in making traffic at Dodger Stadium worse -- very impressive.

But the parking problem that has plagued Dodger Stadium since day one won’t go away until some of the cars go away. But for all practical purposes, you can’t get to Dodger Stadium without driving. It’s one of the few major destinations in L.A. that’s almost entirely inaccessible by public transit -- the nearest bus stop, at Sunset Boulevard and Elysian Park, still leaves an uphill hike to your seats.

Instead of spending money on micromanaging parking lot attendants, why not run a shuttle from the nearby Chinatown, or even better, Union Station Metro rail stop, up the hill to the stadium? I suspect droves of fans would take advantage of such a service; I know I would.
