After feedback from multiple local businesses that Metro construction may inconvenience them, we've completed a new design for the central Downtown station! Building 300 feet below ground ensures the least disruption while adding less than 15 minutes to each rider's travel time.

We have received concerns that the shade provided by our bus shelters was not designed with an awareness of different minority groups. We are halting placement of new shelters and have dedicated 1.4 million dollars to a consultant to ensure new shelters provide thoughtful shade.

That was our initial thought as well, but after several community meetings it was clear that one or two owners were still uncomfortable with the possibility of losing street parking for 3 weeks

Need to request a stop? No more having to pull the cord! Just open the Metro app, create an account, use the "request a stop" tool! All you need to enter is the line number, direction, and bus ID printed on the front of the bus!

We've heard concerns that our countdown clocks display too many other messages, making it hard to see train arrival times. To address this we're adding a smaller countdown clock that will show an estimate of how soon the main countdown clock will show train arrival times

While service is suspended on the Red line, passengers can take the Green line instead. It doesn't go to any of the same places, but you can still take it instead.
