It’s expected to be a very busy Friday in Los Angeles, with the city hosting several large-scale events in the region.
Game one of the much anticipated World Series, Dodger vs. Yankees, is expected to draw in tens of thousands of people. First pitch is scheduled for 5:08 p.m.
Dodgers Stadium’s capacity is 56,000, according to Major League Baseball.
A general admission parking pass at the stadium costs $70.00. But if you're looking to save the cash, the Dodgers’ free shuttle service is available, The Dodger Stadium Express.

According to Metro, the Dodger Stadium Express will begin running at 2:08 p.m., from the South Bay to Union Station Friday and Saturday for Games one and two of the World Series.
After the games, if you’re heading back to Union Station and want to avoid delays, Metro suggests considering walking 1.2 miles, from the stadium to the Chinatown station.
The Chinatown station is one stop from Union Station. You can find out more about the Dodger Stadium Express and Metro services here.
