At Metro, we’re committed to turning feedback into real improvements for our riders. Our SPDI team recently installed Simme Seats—compact, space-efficient seating designed for sidewalks where a full bench isn’t possible. These new seats make waiting for the bus more comfortable without crowding pedestrian space.
You can now find Simme Seats at six Metro bus stops:
• Glenway Ave & Werk Ave
• Vine St & Glenwood Ave
• Werk & Epworth Ave
• Queen City Ave & Sunset Ave
• Queen City Ave & Ridgetop Way
• Baltimore Ave & Westwood Northern
Since implementing the Reinventing Metro plan, we’ve installed 200 benches and 41 shelters with 300 more benches and 159 more shelters on the way!
Reminder: Metro will be operating under normal weekday hours and schedules this upcoming Juneteenth on Thursday, June 19.

Reminder that as a part of our Fare Restructuring, Metro`s Tap & Save program launches July 16! Fare capping gives you the guaranteed lowest fare based on your ridership. Instead of buying day or monthly passes in advance, you can earn them as you go. If you do not own a SmartPhone, pick up one of our reloadable Smart Cards to receive the benefits of Tap & Save!
Once you’ve paid the cost of a 24-hour or 30-day pass through single rides, your account is automatically “capped”—so the rest of your rides during that period are free. Simply load funds to your EZfare account (in the Transit app or on a Smart Card), tap when you board and enjoy fare capping once you hit the daily or monthly cap.
Here’s how it works:
• Pay as you go—once you spend the cost of a day or month pass, the rest of your rides are free during that time.
• Local routes: Never pay more than $4.40 per day or $88 in 30 days.
• Express routes: Never pay more than $6 per day or $120 in 30 days.
• Skip pre-purchasing tickets. Just tap your phone or Smart Card when boarding and we’ll do the math for you.
