Commemorative Freedom 250 Grand Prix cards were made available at select stations this morning. Team Metro quickly identified a defect in the card technology which makes them unusable.

We’re monitoring the possibility of tornadoes for our entire service area and looking out for downed trees, track obstructions, and/or power issues. Be mindful of wet station platforms and escalators, take shelter if needed, and stay up to date on any service changes. Check our Metro Pulse app.
