METRO is Your Best Shot for NCAA Final Four Events

The NCAA Final Four begins Friday and METRO is ready to be a part of your game plan! METRO's light-rail and high frequency bus network will provide direct connections to all Final Four events.

Planning ahead and taking transit, biking or walking will be the best ways to travel.

METRO's Final Four commemorative pass is only $12 and is good for unlimited rides on local bus and rail during the four-day event.
