Skip the Balboa Park parking scramble and the dark walk back to the lot — and don't drive home after dinner and a show. EGT drops you at the entrance 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 Old Globe — California's oldest professional theatre, set in Balboa Park — a flat-rate private car drops you at the entrance and skips the park 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 Globe's 2026 season plays across its three stages. The Summer Shakespeare Festival (Jun 14–Aug 30) brings Measure for Measure and Much Ado About Nothing (Aug 2–30) to the outdoor Lowell Davies stage. Indoors: the comedy The Hombres (May 30–Jun 21), the North American premiere of North by Northwest (Jul 3–Aug 2), and the new musical Begin Again — music and lyrics by Grammy winner Pat Monahan — premiering in September 2026.
Season per The Old Globe (theoldglobe.org); confirm dates and times on the official calendar.
Balboa Park parking is free, but the lots near the theatre complex fill on show nights — leaving a long walk across the park in the dark after the curtain. Most Globe evenings start with dinner in the park or the Prado, usually with a glass of wine. A flat $50 point-to-point ride drops you right at the entrance and brings you home, so the parking and the drive are never your problem. The three stages — including the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre — all sit in the same complex EGT drops you beside.
Even with free park parking, 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 after-dark lot walk and the drive home after a drink. 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 Balboa Park, named driver, electric.
