About Pasadena

Driving in Pasadena

Pasadena is a premium rideshare market on the eastern edge of LA. Rose Bowl events, Cal Tech and PCC students, Old Town foot traffic, and the corridor of restaurants on Colorado Blvd create consistent, quality ride demand.

Pasadena sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, bordered by Arcadia to the east and Glendale to the west. The 210 Freeway makes it accessible from throughout LA and positions you for solid Eastside and San Gabriel Valley earnings.
