Charter bus service in Downtown Los Angeles

Downtown Los Angeles packs the region's biggest convention center, a cluster of arenas and theaters at L.A. Live, the Music Center on Bunker Hill, Union Station and Dodger Stadium into a few square miles. Group travel here is dense and time-boxed: a load at a hotel curb, a short drive, and a drop that has to happen fast.

Hotel blocks around L.A. Live, the Financial District and Bunker Hill host most convention and event groups. The Los Angeles Convention Center has designated bus loading on its campus, and big shows run shuttle loops from outlying hotels in Koreatown, Hollywood and near LAX.

Little Tokyo, the Arts District, Chinatown, Olvera Street and Grand Central Market draw tour and school groups, and Union Station is the hub for Amtrak, Metrolink and Metro rail arrivals.

The 110, 101, 10 and 5 freeways surround downtown and all slow at rush hour, and event nights add closures around the arenas. Trips are matched to operators near the pickup, priced all-in and tracked live.
