— Metro (@metrolosangeles) November 4, 2015 LA Metro offers Zack Greinke a free bus pass to stay with Dodgers
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Cities try amazing things to lure potential free agents and keep them at home. Some unfurl banners, others might boast about their night life or cultural activities -- but Los Angeles is offering a thrifty solution to a common problem -- a bus pass.
Before you scoff at Zack Greinke needing a bus pass, let’s talk about all the amazing things a LA Metro “TAP Card” has to offer, all of which I just learned from their website:
- It’s a cool card with an electronic chip.
- Travel across 24 different travel agencies!
- You could jump on a bus in Lancaster and travel all the way to Long Beach!
- Need to take a flight? Get to the airport with ease!
- Did you know: With a TAP card you can take the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus AND the City of Monterey Park Spirit Bus!?
Look Zack, we know there are going to be a TON of great offers available to you, but how many will include a bus pass? As someone with no vested interest, I’d take this bus pass deal. Hold out for free hot dogs, though.
