Green Bay Metro Makes Donation to Paul's Pantry

Bob Simon representing Green Bay Metro bus drivers presents donation to Angeline Allard of Paul’s Pantry.

Green Bay Metro collected several thousand non-perishable food items from December 12th through the 19th. All donations were then given to Paul’s Pantry. Paul’s Pantry was extremely grateful for all donations received last week. Along with bus drivers helping of the holiday food drive, Green Bay Metro bus drivers voluntarily decided to come together and donate a check to Paul’s Pantry.

Passengers and bus drivers of Green Bay Metro showed great hospitality to Paul’s Pantry and the greater Green Bay community. Green Bay Metro thanks you for your donation.

Green Bay Metro plans to make this an annual event. Metro received much positive feedback from riders, the press, and Metro staff. It was enjoyable to see the joy and the appreciation on people’s faces throughout the community. Thank you for making this all possible.

New Route 11 and 17 - What do you think?

Route 11 outbound changes to Route 17 at Broadview. Route 17 inbound changes into Route 11 inbound at Broadview.

This means, if a rider wants to go from Metro Center to De Pere, rider would take Route 11 and stay on the same bus for once it reaches Broadview, Route 11 changes to Route 17. In addition, if you are in De Pere and you want to go to Metro Center, saty on the same bus. Transfers at Broadview will be made for passengers who get picked up along southbound Webster and want to go back to Metro Center. In addition, if picked up in De Pere, transfers will be made at Broadview. Make sure to inform the driver once you aboard the bus that you need to transfer to insure a transfer can be made. Route 15 will not be affected during this change.

This route design is to help some of the time issues being faced at the bottom of every hour on Broadview.

Let us know what you think of the route redesign!

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!!!
