Bus riders should plan ahead for different schedules during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Metro will be operating with Sunday schedules on Dec. 25 and Jan. 1, and then using the new “partial holiday” schedule on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.

The partial holiday schedule features more bus service than on weekends, but less than normal weekdays. Many routes that will not run on Christmas and New Year’s Day will be in operation on the days after – but with fewer trips than a regular weekday. Both the printed and online bus schedules indicate whether each trip on each individual Metro route will operate on a partial holiday. Look for the “H” symbol next to individual trip times to see if a specific trip is cancelled on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.

Passengers should check the schedules for their bus routes in advance and plan accordingly. The partial holiday schedules are incorporated in Metro’s Online Trip Planner.
