Metro Transit (Minnesota) 3-13-2021


As part of the ongoing, shared effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 and respond to changes in travel demand, Metro Transit continues to refine its service schedule with changes which began on Saturday, March 13. We continue to focus our resources in areas where they are most needed to provide critical travel during this ongoing crisis.

Metro Transit regularly monitors ridership to see if changes such as extra trips or larger vehicles are needed to help customers maintain social distancing onboard.
