Metro Redesign Background
The Transit Network Redesign is a project to completely redesign Metro routes in 2023. The goal of the resign is to provide frequent AND more direct service, better access to jobs, and make the system overall easier to use.
This complete reboot of service is also necessary to schedule routes around Metro’s future bus rapid transit system that will go into effect in 2024.
There are some trade-offs with this redesign, where some riders in less dense neighborhoods may need to walk farther to stops.
