The Chase Center, home to the Golden State Warriors, ranks in the middle of the pack for transit scores among NBA arenas, according to a new survey.
What's happening: Walk Score, a Redfin company that promotes walkable neighborhoods, measured how well NBA arenas are served by public transportation.
- The Chase Center, which ranks 17 out of 29, has a transit score of 73 out of 100.
- The company assigns a "usefulness" value to the nearby transit routes on frequency, type and distance between stops.
- A transit score of 90–100 means public transportation near the arena is world class; 70–89 scores have convenient transportation options for most trips; 50–69 scores have many nearby public transit options; 25–49 scores have few nearby public transportation options; 0–24 scores mean it is possible to get on a bus.
By the numbers: There are four cities with NBA arenas that have a transit score of 100 according to WalkScore: Boston, D.C., New York (with two arenas) and Toronto.
- Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee, and Frost Bank Center in San Antonio rank the lowest.
- While the KT line takes fans straight to the Chase Center from Chinatown, downtown and the Bayview, it's a slow-moving train the second it emerges from underground.
Be smart: There are 30 NBA teams and 29 arenas — the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers both play at Crypto.com Arena.
