Ed Begley Jr. took his daughter Hayden to the Academy Awards at the  Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday.And they didn't arrive by fancy limo. The clever couple avoided the terrible traffic by taking the Metrolink train.'Red Line to the Red Carpet,' the 68-year-old Portlandia actor shared in one tweet of himself and the 17-year-old standing on the platform. 'Going to the Oscars by subway.'Of course, the star didn't go unnoticed.He was seen on the train by Tim de la Motte who shared images of the couple on Snapchat and Instagram, captioning one: 'Ed Begley Jr on the @metrolosangeles on his way to the @Academyawards.  Share this article Share 'I was too nervous to get a good pic but we chatted about trains. And biking, And I am flushed. And can't deal. REALLY.'Ed made no secret of his thrifty choice, flashing his Metrolink TAP travel card on the red carpet. The social media posts were spotted by Los Angeles Times travel reporter  Laura J. Nelson.She tweeted two pictures saying: 'Meanwhile, in transportation news about the Oscars: A metrolosangeles rider spotted Ed Begley Jr. taking the Red Line to the Dolby Theater.' That prompted replies from impressed readers, including one who said: 'With all the street closure I'm honestly surprised more people don't do this.'   It also set off a series of tweets to Ed himself who explained the logic of his choice - beating the traffic - and said that Hayden had brought flat shoes with her so that she wouldn't have to walk the 1.3 miles from the Vine Street Station to the Dolby in her high heels.The actor, who serves on the Academy's board of governors, actually revealed on Thursday that he and Hayden were going to take the tube.He tweeted a throwback snap of him in a tux and bow tie and his daughter in red, at a station four years ago, captioned: 'Taking  the subway, just like we did in 2014.'
