A night at the Hollywood Bowl does not necessarily have to begin with a long drive into Hollywood and a complicated parking experience.

Hollywood Bowl Line 657 is operating from Torrance's Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center, giving South Bay concertgoers a local place to board a shuttle for performances at the Bowl.

The departure location was moved from Wilson Park to the Regional Transit Center. Parking at the Torrance Transit Center is free, although the City notes that the primary lot is limited to approximately 250 parking spaces. Overflow operations may be directed to Wilson Park when necessary.

One detail worth remembering: the Hollywood Bowl shuttle is not operated by Torrance Transit, and Torrance Transit does not sell concert or shuttle tickets. Reservations and ticket purchases are handled through the Hollywood Bowl's Park & Ride and Bowl Shuttle system.

For Torrance residents attending a concert this summer, it could be a much easier alternative to fighting Hollywood traffic.
