With pick-ups at Park & Rides all over the metro and drop-off right outside the gate, Metro Transit is probably the most hassle-free way to get to the fair.
But a driver shortage has forced Metro Transit to re-organize and stretch resources, affecting routes to the Fair. Metro Transit has pushed the express bus start time up an hour to 9 a.m. during the weekdays.
Metro Transit cut regular bus routes last month as the transit company says they are short about 90 drivers. The news comes amidst a nationwide worker shortage.
