Is the above post-Dodger Game traffic jam scenario familiar? Last year, the city did a pilot program called the "Dodger Trolley." It whisked baseball fans to and from Dodger Stadium and Union Station (and some stops between). If the city is to do it for the 2009 season, it would cost $400,000, but with the current budget shortfall and economy, finding the funding has not happened yet, Eric Richardson at blogdowntown reports:

Starting tomorrow and throughout the baseball season, thanks to efforts by the LA City Council, a free "Dodgers Trolley" begins service between Union Station and Dodger stadium (behind Center Field). With two stops in between at Cesar Chavez Ave/Figueroa St. and Sunset Blvd./Marion Ave., the trip is estimated to take less than 20-minutes and a trolley can be caught every 8 or so minutes. A map of the route can be found here and more info can be found at the Dodgers' trolley webpage. Go Dodgers!
