Because X does not allow embedded posts to be visible without logging in, Metro is migrating stuff usually posted here to Bluesky. Find us at @ gpmetro dot bsky dot social over there.

From the ticket booth to the end of the line and every stop along the way, transit workers and operators make our world (and wheels) go round 🚏🧑‍✈️🫶 They’d have the entire calendar if it was up to us - but today’s their time to shine! Happy Transit Employee Appreciation Day 💚

Please enjoy some 2024 highlights (we know there are more!) as we reflect on all that our staff has accomplished this year. Thank you to all of our teams -we're so grateful for ALL that you do! #HappyNewYear #PortlandMaine

Metro is upgrading our CAD-AVL system -- the system that feeds real-time information. Real-time information may not be available for all buses, likely for a period of 3-4 weeks.

Take Metro to the polls! We are fare-free on Election Day! Use this map to find out the best route to take transit to and from your polling place. platform.remix.com/project/ff8afb…

Free rides on Metro, @CityofSoPo Bus Service, and @BSOOBTRANSIT tomorrow! Don’t forget to vote!

@laurawanberg I will follow up on the status of that incident report.

@metrogpt then refused to give me his bus number, closing the doors on myself as i was politely questioning him about it.

Last night, the South Portland City Council voted to merge South Portland Bus Service and Greater Portland Metro. The merger will be finalized if it is approved by Greater Portland Metro's Board of Directors, scheduled to meet October 24 at 4pm.

@laurawanberg Hi, sorry to hear this happened. Please send details on where you were passed up — time, bus stop, direction of travel — and we can look into this.

my second favorite thing is when the @metrogpt bus drives right past me and then i have to pay for a lyft to work because someone didn’t want to do their job🥰🥰🥰🥰

my favorite thing about @metrogpt is when you’re standing AT A BUS STOP and the bus drives right past you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 heartwarming and lovely!

@obobME Unfortunately it happens sometimes, but we have backup drivers and buses at the ready!

Service Update-Wednesday, Sept 18 (10:45 am) Due to construction, the Route 8 Metro bus stop at Elm/Lancaster is temporarily closed. Riders should use the stop on Marginal Way in front of Trader Joe's.

@molejules Unfortunately you will still need to transfer (to a plane)

@metrogpt wait does this mean you're doing a newark route

When we said we were improving service to the Jetport this is not what we meant
