Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (Metro) had suspended all transit services due to catastrophic weather, causing widespread flooding in the Houston region. On Tuesday April 4, Metro made the decision to resume service with some exceptions.

MetroRail, MetroLift and most bus operations resume today for key bus routes:
Park & Rides (P&R) are open with the exception of the 217 Cypress and 228 Addicks remain closed.
MetroRail is operating on all three lines.

Routes have been surveyed and cleared but patrons are advised that delays may occur as detours are adapted to Metro's routine schedules. Additionally all Metro HOV/HOT lanes are open for drivers.

Further updates will follow throughout the day. The break in service is due to mud and debris and other issues within the service area.

Riders are encouraged to monitor local news and weather reports and Metro Twitter and Facebook pages for timely information regarding transit. Metro advises riders to monitor local media, and the National Weather Service for information updates.
