Metro has temporarily reduced service due to a shortage of transit operators. While more than 90% of our service is operating and nearly all of our 160 bus routes, some trips are canceled and six routes are suspended. Metro is closely monitoring the situation and will reassess whether it is able to restore trips and routes in the coming weeks.

Routes 162, 177, 304, 320 and 330 are temporarily not operating on weekdays, and route 125 is not operating on weekends.
