You know, it never gets old. College football season brings with it an undeniable sense of excitement here at Foothill Transit. We’ve been providing game day shuttles from Old Town Pasadena down to the front gates of the Rose Bowl for years now, and each year is better than the last.

This year, things are pretty much the same – Foothill Transit Rose Bowl service is totally free. Just get yourself to the corner of Fair Oaks and Walnut, look for the line of people - don’t worry about that line we cycle through them pretty quickly - board the shuttles and you’ll be on your way down to the stadium in mere minutes.

Getting to the shuttle stop is simple. You can take Line 187 to Fair Oaks and Walnut – it drops you off on the corner across from where you board the buses – or walk a few blocks over from the Memorial Park Gold Line Station. You can also drive to the Parson’s lot at Fair Oaks and Walnut and park there. There is a $12 parking fee.

Now, parking at the Rose Bowl is another option. You could pay the Rose Bowl’s parking fees, but considering that parking down by the Rose Bowl is easily double that, and deal with the snail-slow traffic heading out of the parking spot, taking Foothill Transit to the game becomes a no-brainer.

Shuttles start moving three hours before kickoff and we start bringing people back out at halftime. All games are held on Saturdays. Here is the list of the 2011 home games we will be servicing:

o   September 10 – San Jose State

o   September 17 – Texas

o   October 8 – Washington State

o   October 29 – California

o   November 5 – Arizona State

o   November 19 – Colorado

We’ve got all of your home games taken care of. Ride with us! After all, we’ve always been fond of the color blue.
