[NFBSea] Fwd: Metro Transit Alert - Minor service reductions through Jan. 21

[Marci Carpenter]

FYI, it’s best to check schedules before you go anywhere these days. You can sign up to receive text alerts about specific routes you may use frequently. I really like this feature because I get notifications about the routes I use but not about the whole system.

Happy travels :-)
