FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Release Date: Nov. 12, 2026

Media Hot Line: 713-739-4040

METRORail Red Line service between Burnett Transit Center/ Casa de Amigos Station and Northline Transit Center/ HCC Station will be temporarily interrupted from the start of service on Saturday, Nov. 14, through the end of service on Sunday, Nov. 15, to allow crews to perform essential maintenance that can only be completed when trains are not operating.

This work is an important part of the METRONow plan, helping keep the rail system in a state of good repair, improve reliability and to reduce future unscheduled service interruptions. Temporarily suspending train service provides crews with safe access to the tracks and equipment needed to complete these critical improvements.

To accommodate riders, shuttle buses will operate every 10 minutes between Burnett Transit Center/ Casa de Amigos Station and Northline Transit Center/ HCC Station , replacing trains along the affected portion of the line.

Riders can view the shuttle bus map for boarding locations.
