Alert #2: METRO Operations to Remain Suspended through Monday

Due to the catastrophic flooding and treacherous road conditions, METRO services will remain suspended the rest of today and tomorrow, Monday, Aug. 28.

Riders are asked to monitor current news and weather as well as METRO Twitter and Facebook pages for timely information regarding transit service. METRO also offers real-time information through its service alerts system. Patrons are advised that the Authority operates under the same traffic and weather conditions as the general public so please be patient and know that we will be back on the road as soon as we can safely do so.

You may experience delays when calling METRO Customer Service at 713-635-4000 during this period.
