Starline’s Little Tokyo Shuttle: How It Works, What It Costs & What’s Included
Getting to Dodger Stadium during the season is one of those LA headaches most fans have just accepted: the 110 backing up before first pitch, $50 parking that fills fast, and a post-game rideshare surge that can double your fare. The easiest way to get to Dodger Stadium is a round-trip shuttle that picks you up in Little Tokyo, drops you at the gate, and brings you back after the final out. Starline Tours runs this service from Downtown Los Angeles for every Dodgers home game throughout the season, departing approximately two hours before game time: no car, no parking app, no headaches.
How Starline’s Little Tokyo Shuttle Takes the Headache Out of Game Day
The Starline Dodger Stadium shuttle departs from two Downtown LA pickup locations:
- Miyako Hotel — 328 E 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (Little Tokyo)
- Kawada Hotel — 200 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (Downtown)
For guests staying near Hollywood, a third pickup option is available from the Starline Visitor Center at Ovation Hollywood — 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Suite 203. Hollywood pickup is priced separately from the Downtown options.
Shuttles depart approximately two hours before game time, giving you a comfortable window to enjoy the neighborhood before boarding.
What Does the Dodger Stadium Shuttle Include?
The Starline shuttle to Dodger Stadium is a transportation-only service. Here is exactly what is and is not included:
✅ Round-trip transportation to Dodger Stadium
✅ Pickup from your chosen Downtown LA or Hollywood location
✅ Return service after the game ends
❌ Dodger game tickets are not included and must be purchased separately
Seats are limited. High-demand games fill up fast. Advance booking is strongly recommended.
How Much Does the Dodger Stadium Shuttle Cost?
Downtown LA Pickup (Miyako Hotel or Kawada Hotel)
- Adult: $50
- Child: $34
Hollywood Pickup (Starline Visitor Center, Ovation Hollywood)
- Adult: $65
- Child: $45
For context: Stadium parking starts at $35 and frequently goes higher, and post-game rideshare pricing from Chavez Ravine regularly surges. With Downtown shuttle seats starting at $50 round-trip, the math tends to work in your favor, especially for groups.
Is the Starline Dodger Stadium Shuttle Worth It?
The short answer: yes. The shuttle makes sense for most Dodgers fans. If you’re driving in from Hollywood, you’ll skip the parking fees and post-game gridlock entirely. If you’re visiting LA and don’t know the traffic, it removes the most stressful part of the night. And if you’re a local season-ticket holder, it turns game night from a logistics project into something you can actually look forward to.
Starline Tours has been running transportation across Los Angeles since 1935. The Dodger Stadium shuttle is the same logic applied to one of the city’s most reliably frustrating drives.
