TRANSIT NOTES

Metro today – Regular schedule; check advisories here – lots of trip cancellations this week.

Water Taxi today – Regular schedule. Check the real-time map if you need to see where the boat is. Reminder, NO WATER TAXI this weekend – April 13-14 – to prepare for the spring/summer season (which adds Friday/Saturday later-evening sailings starting Friday, April 19). The shuttle buses WILL run, though, Metro says.

    Why so many Metro trip cancellations? Three morning trip cancellations on Routs 56/57. Need to ride to the Junction after 8am.

      I’ve gotten lots of notifications of Rapid Ride H cancellations as well.

    Also curious why so many bus cancellations this week. Super frustrating. People won’t take public transit if it’s not reliable. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
