#9 

METRO riders are enjoying greatly improved service.  The revamped METRO transportation network, launched on August 16, 2015, delivers seven-day a week frequent bus service. Buses come as often as every 15 minutes or less on more than twenty of the routes. Transforming METRO's bus network expanded the number of riders served by the frequent network by 50 percent.
