Sun Metro Operating Direct Routes for Hyundai Sun Bowl 2015

Sun Metro will operate direct routes from eight locations to the Hyundai Sun Bowl. The routes will run from two Downtown locations, the El Paso Airport area, the Northeast, the East Side, the Mission Valley, the West Side, and the R.C. Poe Park+Ride.
Football fans can begin boarding at 9:30 a.m. at all designated locations. The drop-off sites will be located near the Glory Road Transfer Center, located on the north end of the Sun Bowl Stadium.
