New Metro Service Vehicles

Three brand new 2010 Ford Escapes have arrived at Metro yesterday. These three hybrid 4-door SUV’s were 100% funded for by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The grant was part of the stimulus money Green Bay Metro received back in February. These three new vehicles will replace the two '93 Ford Tauruses and the '94 Chevy Lumina.

The new vehicles are kiwi green metallic. Keep a lookout for the bright and shiny new service vehicles!

Metro Rider Alerts' - "What are they?"

Metro Rider Alert's are half pieces of paper found hanging in front of the buses and allow passengers to pull-off from hanger to grasp information. These are to inform passengers on route changes and detours, as well as other relevant Metro information.

These Metro Rider Alert's will be updated whenever there is a route change, route detour, or any other information that may pertain to Metro riders.

Feel free to rip one off!!!
