Metro Transit, SouthWest Transit resume service after snowstorm

Metro Transit and SouthWest Transit have resumed bus services in the Twin Cities after a winter storm caused significant disruptions. Early Wednesday morning, Metro Transit suspended operations due to hazardous road conditions, although light rail and commuter rail services continued. By mid-morning, updates confirmed that bus services were back in operation, albeit with expected delays as snow removal efforts were underway. The storm has dumped over six inches of heavy, wet snow in some areas, with winds reaching up to 40 mph, creating challenging travel conditions. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has issued warnings against traveling in many parts of southern Minnesota, and roads are reported to be completely covered in snow.

This weather event has also led to widespread school closures and delays across the region. As the cleanup continues, riders are urged to stay informed about current road conditions and transit updates. The situation highlights the impact of winter weather on public transportation and daily commutes in the area.
