Amid Power Outages, Hahn Authorizes Metro Fare Suspension

Los Angeles, CA — As wind and fires continue to call sporadic power outages, Chair of the Metro Board of Directors Janice Hahn has authorized the continued suspension of fare collection systemwide through today, January 9, 2025. She also provided information about Metro buses used for evacuations:

“As winds, fires, and sporadic power outages continue, I have authorized the suspension of fare collection systemwide to be extended through today. Metro continues to operate with some bus lines suspended or rerouted due to fires,” said Hahn. “Last night, Metro was able to provide buses to the LAPD to use for evacuations in the Sunset Fire. I am grateful to the first responders who are using every tool and resource at their disposal to protect residents and help them to safety.”
