En Español


Sunday, June 28, 2020 | Until further notice  

Routes Affected: 22A, 62, C14, D2, E2, G2, H6, M6, NH2, U4, X8 

Metrobus customers on the region’s busiest routes will notice more frequent buses, less crowding, and more regular service beginning Monday, June 29. An additional 136 trips are being added across 14 routes: 54, 70, 92, 30N, 30S, A4, A6, A8, P6, V4, W4, F4, P12, and T18. 

To make these improvements possible, Metro will temporarily suspend bus service on four routes that currently have extremely low ridership – NH2, C14, G2 and M6. Customers along these routes are asked to use other Metrobus routes nearby. Routes 22A, 62, D2, E2, H6, U4, and X8, which currently have low ridership, will continue to operate, but with reduced service. A list of low ridership routes and their frequency are listed below.
