Why all this change?

Over the last year, Metro received close to 30,000 responses from customers about proposed changes to fares, service and hours. This feedback was considered by Metro's Board and Management to make tough decisions on how to rightsize service, close a budget gap and provide needed time for preventive maintenance and get Metro Back2Good.

NEW Metrorail Hours of Operation

Metrorail hours will be adjusted and some Metrobus routes will add trips to accommodate riders.
