Se déplacer dans les environs
Here for a game? Skip the crowds, take a free shuttle!
Many local bars, restaurants and parking lots will provide a free shuttle to the ball park. These can be a great choice which allow the designated driver to enjoy themself, too! A purchase with the provider is usually required to gain access to the shuttle.

Public Transportation (MCTS) is adequate, not outstanding.
If you're a dedicated public transportation user, you'll find adequate schedules to get you around. The bus system is effective, the buses are new and clean and the stops are spaced quite nicely. Bus drivers are very helpful and friendly. Outside of the downtown areas, however, the public transportation option fails to work efficiently. No matter where you ride, trip time is usually tripled compared to driving when using this option.
