METRORail Improvements Prompt Bus Shuttle on Purple Line

METRO will make improvements to the overhead power system along the Purple Light Rail Line tomorrow which will impact evening travel. The scheduled work is necessary to ensure METRO continues to provide reliable light-rail service to customers.

On May 24, work will begin at 8 p.m. and regular rail service will resume the following morning. During those late evening hours, free bus shuttles will transport passengers between the closed segments of the Purple Line from the MacGregor Park/MLK Jr. to Palm Center transit stations.

Signs at closed rail platforms will guide riders to nearby shuttle stops. METRO staff will also be on hand to assist riders. Please allow for extra time to complete trips. A bus shuttle map is found below.
