Bus Availability Updates

Metro has been addressing a number of mechanical issues with its bus fleet. Despite these issues, Metro's goal is to limit disruptions to its service as much as possible. However, trips may be canceled if there are no other options.

A yellow alert banner will display on MyMetroBus.com to notify riders of any potential trip cancellations, and riders are encouraged to use Metro's Bus Tracker for the most up-to-date information or to check their trip in real time. 

Possible canceled trips are marked in the schedules below. These potential trip cancellations have been chosen in an effort to minimize this disruption to riders as much as possible.

When a bus is pulled off the road, every effort is made to get it back in service as soon as possible.

We appreciate riders' patience while Metro works through these ongoing issues into 2026 and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Staff is working through a number of routine maintenance repairs, such as on doors, sensors, and issues related to the cold.
