Metro Transit will resume bus and Northstar rail services Wednesday and light-rail service as early as Thursday.
A statement — by Metro Transit general manager Wes Kooistra — said that bus and Northstar commuter rail services will return at 4 a.m. Wednesday. Metro Blue and Green Line light-rail service will resume on Thursday at the earliest. Once running again, transportation services will continue to operate at reduced levels because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the statement said.
Due to the past week’s unrest over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody, ongoing and changing detours are to be expected for many bus routes, including 5, 7, 11, 18, 21 and 23. Information regarding these routes can be found on Metro Transit’s website.
The statement emphasized that staff have been working quickly to move to resume service while also prioritizing safety.
“We acknowledge that many of the neighborhoods that rely heavily on transit are also those that were hardest hit by these events. People who use transit to secure groceries and medicine, to get to their jobs, or to make other essential trips suffered twin impacts — the loss of neighborhood businesses and services they rely on and the experience of being stranded because transit was unavailable,” the statement read.
