City of Maricopa Introduces the New Maricopa Express Transit

[NEWS RELEASE] The City of Maricopa unveiled the new Maricopa Express Transit (MET) with a new logo and updated transit plan in a live video this morning. Service will be expanding from 12 stops within the city to 18 stops between the first of November through the beginning of the new year. The plan includes two buses running simultaneously, making bus waits shorter and more efficient.
