Thank you Metro riders for wearing a face covering while riding, and in all public spaces. Metro appreciates riders’ observance of all safety and health guidelines.

Plan ahead for transit service disruptions due to events or weather
In areas where there are crowds, traffic, weather or events disrupting normal travel patterns, transit riders are advised to be aware of conditions in their immediate area, such as street closures or detours.

Be prepared for delays or to make revisions to travel plans, such as using a different route or bus stop, depending on specific circumstances.

Transit riders are encouraged to know the alternate routes or stops that may be near their starting points and destinations.

Depending on the time and the nature of such events, Metro may not be able to provide real-time information or service updates via email or text.  Start and end times and other details for planned events may be subject to change.

Know before you go
During events that disrupt transit service, online or real time customer information planning tools and third-party apps may not be accurate. These systems may still provide useful information, such as maps and bus stop information.

Ride safely
Please follow safety policies and guidelines:

  • Wear a face covering in public and while riding on transit.
  • Stay home if you are sick.
  • Maintain 6 feet of distance from others.
  • Observe and abide by posted directions and decals.
