Metro open house on proposed Metrobus Route 42, 43, L1 and L2 changes

Service Change Proposals: Metro is evaluating bus service along the 42 and 43 routes and the L1 and L2 routes. ( Click here for description of the proposed changes )

The Service Evaluation Study is being conducted to identify improvements needed to meet current and future travel needs of Metrobus customers. The analysis will review service reliability, quality and productivity.

In November 2017, over 2,500 riders provided Metro with input about their service on Metrobus routes 42, 43, L1 and L2. Using this feedback, along with additional analysis examining bus service productivity and performance, the study team has developed the following initial service change proposals for public and stakeholder review and input.

Come speak to project staff about your feedback on the proposals at one of the open houses listed below:
