"act of god, your claim is denied" - Your Insurance Company

We continue to have service impacts to some bus and rail lines due to wildfires and wind. We've also suspended fares through Sunday, Jan. 12. Regular A Line train service has resumed between Southwest Museum and Fillmore stations as repairs have been completed to overhead wires. Bus Lines 134 and 602 are canceled due to the Palisades Fire. There are detours on Bus Lines 296, 660, 662, 690 and 761 northbound. Metro Micro: in Pasadena, Altadena, & Sierra Madre, service north of Woodbury Road, New York Drive, and Sierra Madre Boulevard is suspended
