#UPDATE Phone service has been restored! 👍

#UPDATE PAL web reservations are still available. The PAL email, which is [email protected], will be monitored between 7am and 5pm.

🚨 Phone lines across NFTA networks are currently experiencing an outage. This includes airport and Paratransit Access Line (PAL) phone lines. 🚨

Ben Stump says his grandmother and aunt used to ride the #5 bus nearly every day, just for fun. 💭 "They rode from their apartment in Riverside to the downtown terminal, where they’d have lunch at Burger King, located right inside the bus station." For years, this was their routine.

NFTA has partnered with Level 7 Market Research to conduct a series of focus groups to gather input on three new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) brand concepts. 🚍

🚨 RAIL SERVICE UPDATE 🚨 🚆 Underground rail service (University to Allen Medical Campus) will resume on Monday at 5:30 a.m. following a temporary rail service suspension caused by an underground mechanical issue on Saturday afternoon.

Metro Rail service will remain suspended until further notice due to a mechanical issue. Bus shuttles are in place to accommodate passengers. Crews are working to restore service as soon as possible.

Some feedback from our riders... 😊 💖 "A customer with a cane was assisted by an operator in entering the railcar from the University station." 💖 "They just observed an operator give amazing, clear, and kind instructions to a group of tourists getting off the 24, on how and where to catch the 40."

We're in the middle of Customer Service Week! Shout-out to our wonderful team for everything they do to help our riders! 🙏 Share a story about how our team has assisted you! 💭
