George,



I am sorry you have experienced some inconvenience as a result of single tracking on the Blue Line. This episodic single tracking will take place occasionally for remainder of the year, and we anticipate having very little single tracking next year. The nature of the maintenance requirements of a rail system require that we close down tracks during a portion of our normal schedule to accommodate maintenance activity. The solution with the least customer impact for our current maintenance activity is to turn Blue Line trains at the Forest Park Station, operating trains in the core of our service area only every 20 minutes. I encourage you to stay abreast of schedule single-tracking events on our website so that you may plan occasionally. We regret this inconvenience for you and our other customers, and we want you to know that Metro Transit is committed to maintaining our transit system in safe operating condition.
