Special bus services for World Baseball Championships
A special bus service (not diablos rojos) has been ordered to transport baseball fans to the Rod Carew stadium for the World Baseball Championships starting this weekend.
Buses, provided by MiBus, operators of the air conditioned Metro buses, will run from designated locations across the city. They will be: Metro Mall shopping center in the City’s east side; Albrook Mall; the commercial center of El Dorado, and Universidad Santa Maria La Antigua (USMA).
Professor Edwin Cabrera, chairman of the organizing committee said the aim is to avoid the traffic congestion that usually occurs when major events are scheduled in the stadium, located on the road that leads to the Centennial Bridge.
“For games at 2:00 pm there will be fewer buses than for the game at 7:30 at night," he said.
The parking lots at USMA will be available for people to leave their vehicles and take the Metrobus.
Private security services have been hired to support the 2000 National Police who will be on duty in and around the Rod Carew stadium.
