Here at the NoHo B line station this morning to check on how World Cup service is impacting commuters. Pretty quiet at the moment as we’re a few hours out from the start of the shuttle service but signage (and lots of shade) is up

A really important update for commuters who park at Metro stations — on match days it will be $10 at certain stations and some stations won't have any commuter parking available at all. And parking at Union Station will be $65 on match days *and* fan zone days.
I've added this all to my guide!

This is not a guide for attending World Cup matches. This is not even a guide for watching World Cup matches. (Remember the Torched promise: no sports!)
This is a guide for finding and sharing the best of our city
A mission statement, a calendar of events, and an invitation to help shine a light on LA's public spaces, public transit, and public benefits
