Metro will run buses to and from SoFi Stadium for World Cup matches this summer, the agency announced Wednesday.

Fans can catch a direct bus to and from the games from nine locations around Los Angeles for $1.75 —the fare for a regular bus ride. Those are:

  • Hawthorne/Lennox Station
  • Crenshaw Station
  • LAX/Metro Transit Center 
  • El Camino College in the city of Torrance 
  • Harbor Gateway Transit Center in the city of Gardena
  • Downtown Long Beach 
  • Union Station
  • North Hollywood Station
  • Pierce College Station

The bus service will start four hours before each game, and end 90 minutes after matches end. Metro is working with regional transit providers in the region and charter bus companies to provide the service.

The locations are all accessible via Metro public transit. Fans that drive to the bus stations can pay Metro to park at most of nine locations, excluding LAX/Metro Transit Center. Parking reservations range from around $60 to $120 — and can be made now.

The U.S. Men’s National Team will play its first game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on June 12, with a 6 p.m. kickoff. L.A.’s last match will be a quarterfinal on July 10.

In between, the city will host six more games and be the site of World Cup celebrations and viewings.
