The A Line is operating normally between the Southwest Museum and Downtown Long Beach stations and Fillmore to APU/Citrus College stations. A Line service between the Southwest Museum and Fillmore stations has been replaced by buses due to wind damage to overhead wires, and will continue until the debris and trees are removed and repairs are completed, Metro said.Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, chair of Metro’s Board of Directors, authorized the agency to suspend fare collection systemwide for the day “given the extraordinary demands on the power grid and sporadic outages making it difficult to buy and load TAP cards.” The latest Metro service information is available by following @MetroLAAlerts on the social network X or the agency’s webpage at alerts.metro.net.
