These new schedules will be uploaded into the Transit with EZFare app so you can continue to plan your trips and track your buses during this period of modified service.
We thank you for your patience, and we regret any inconvenience these changes may cause.
Additionally, here is what Metro is doing to safeguard our customers and employees during COVID-19:
- Conducting rigorous daily cleaning of all buses.
- Applying a chlorinated, sanitizing disinfectant that kills the coronavirus to all buses and surfaces inside buses and facilities, including poles, barriers, grab rails and seats.
- Using an electrostatic sprayer which promotes surface adhesion of the disinfectant.
- Providing hand sanitizing stations in all garages and offices for use by operators and maintenance employees and administrative employees.
- Conducting all meetings via teleconference and closing the administrative offices lobby and sales office to walk-in customers.
- Practicing social distancing in all workplaces.
- Temporarily changing the "No facial coverings" policy to allow surgical masks for operators and customers while on the bus.
Here are some ways you can help prevent the spread of coronavirus:
- Practice social distancing while waiting for or riding the bus.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Stay home when you are sick.
