- Was Thursday 6/29 but postponed to Monday 7/10 – The opening date for the new Mt. San Antonio College Transit Center had been announced for this Thursday, but the date has been pushed back to 7/10. Additional details available at Mt. SAC post.
- Saturday 7/1 – Starting this Saturday, Metro will no longer sell daily and weekly passes. Instead riders get fare capping: using a TAP card riders will pay-as-you-go up to the cost of a pass, then additional rides are free. Details at SBLA or The Source.
