Metro Transit (Minnesota) 8-21-2021
To respond to changes in travel demand due to the anticipated -return-to-office- for some this fall, Metro Transit will continue to refine its service schedule with quarterly service changes starting on Saturday, Aug. 21. We are adding and restoring service and trips to some routes where ridership demand is expected to increase and keeping some service suspended. We are focusing our resources in areas where they are most needed to provide critical travel during this ongoing period of transition.Routes with no changes will link to current schedule. Preview of updated schedules will be available here on July 23.
