LA Metro built a dedicated direct-bus surface for the tournament: the S11 LAX/Metro Transit Center route runs straight from LAX to a stadium-adjacent drop. $1.75 per ride. Tap with TAP (or, starting spring 2026, your bank card) and after 3 rides in a day you ride free the rest of the day.
One card, one flat fare, one direct bus from LAX. Plus daily/weekly fare caps that effectively cover a long visit.
