Southern Californians can rely on public transportation to attend the 2025 Rose Parade in Pasadena, avoiding traffic, street closures and parking headaches.
The LA Metro A Line offers multiple stops along the parade route, giving parade-goers the chance to ring in the New Year without the hassle of fighting crowded roads.
Parade attendees can board the A Line anywhere from Long Beach to Pasadena, with six stops in the City of Roses. Both the Del Mar and Memorial Park stations are directly adjacent to the parade route.
Angelenos can take Metro trains or buses to Los Angeles Union Station and hop on the A Line for a seamless transit experience.
For those in outlying communities serviced by Metrolink, the regional passenger rail system, is adding early-morning trains on its Ventura County, Orange County and 91/Perris Valley lines, and is adjusting service on the Antelope Valley and San Bernardino lines.
These adjusted schedules will allow trains to arrive at Union Station between 7 and 7:30 a.m. Anyone utilizing Metrolink can transfer free of charge to the LA Metro system.
Additional Metrolink trains will operate early in the afternoon to bring attendees home after the event. Details on all scheduled train departures and arrivals can be found on Metrolink’s website.
Metrolink is also bringing back its $10 Holiday Pass, which provides unlimited rides on the day of purchase. Holiday passes are available now through the Metrolink app or at station ticket machines.
