• Sunday 12/13 – Twice-per-year Metro service changes will go into effect. These are theoretically aligned with Metro’s NextGen Bus Study, though line frequencies are much less due to recent budget cuts. On several corridors there will be no more Metro Rapid buses, as the service will be consolidated with local lines. Details at The Source.
