While regular Metro service continues to operate without charging fares,
most of Metro's regional transit partners have reinstated fares. Check with
individual service providers for details.
Metro service may be affected by events
At any time where there are events or crowds, transit riders should be
prepared for possible service delays or temporary reroutes in areas where
activities may cause traffic, closed streets or detours. Check media sources

maintain a sustainable transit system for necessary trips during a time of
lower ridership. A few routes are not affected, some routes are completely
canceled and other routes are operating with some trips that are canceled.
Many routes that are either canceled or that have reduced service may also
have some alternate service options.
