Skip the UCSD campus parking maze and the walk in the dark — and don't drive home after the show. EGT drops you at the theatre in a 100% electric car with a named driver — flat $50 point-to-point (1K members $40), up to five riders.
Call (858) 522-0264For a show at the Tony Award-winning La Jolla Playhouse, on the UCSD campus, a flat-rate private car drops you right at the theatre and skips the campus parking entirely. Elite Green Transportation runs a flat $50 point-to-point in the metro Zone ($40 for 1K members), one fare for up to five passengers (about $10 a head), 100% electric, named driver confirmed in advance. Book the ride home as a second $50 point-to-point trip.
The Playhouse's 2026 slate leans into premieres: Purpose, a West Coast premiere by Pulitzer winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (May/June); The Monsters, a West Coast premiere by Ngozi Anyanwu (June); and the internationally acclaimed solo comedy "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" by Julia Masli — a New York Times Top Pick — for a limited run in the Forum Theatre (July–August). The 2026/27 season adds four world premieres, including GRIM.
Season per La Jolla Playhouse (lajollaplayhouse.org); confirm dates on the official schedule.
La Jolla Playhouse sits on the UCSD campus, where parking is paid structures and lots that can be a confusing, poorly-lit walk to the theatre — and the campus only gets busier when classes and events overlap. The Playhouse runs three main stages (the Weiss, Potiker, and Forum), and a flat $50 point-to-point ride drops you at whichever one your show's in and brings you home, with no parking structure to find at the end of the night.
Beyond the campus parking fee, driving means California gas at about $5.70 a gallon (the nation's highest) and the IRS all-in cost of driving — fuel, maintenance, tires, depreciation — at 72.5¢ a mile for 2026, plus the late-night campus walk. A group of five rides for one flat $50 fare — about $10 a person.
And surge isn't the only rideshare lever: a 2026 Consumer Reports study found Uber and Lyft quoting riders different prices for the same ride at the same time (a median gap near 50%) using AI-driven surveillance pricing. EGT's published $50 rate is the same for every rider.
Gas per AAA California; all-in driving cost per the 2026 IRS standard mileage rate. EGT Zone rate is EGT's own published flat rate.
Flat $50 point-to-point (1K members $40), up to 5 riders. Curbside at UCSD, named driver, electric.
