Metro Transit announced it will begin to expand some light rail and bus service in September.

Certain bus and train services were limited earlier this year due to the worldwide pandemic.

Beginning Sept. 12, the Metro A Line and the Metro C Line will have as much service as they did prior to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Both light rail lines will also offer 10-minute service throughout the day.

Other changes that will take effect on Sept. 12 include:

  • Bus stops along Route 63 will be eliminated or relocated.
  • Route 54 will begin serving a new transit center at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Terminal 1.
  • Routes 7 and 68 will be extended.
  • A new route will replace routes 361 and 365 with four morning and four afternoon express trips.
