Our History

Metro’s public transportation history

Serving Kalamazoo County 50 YearsMetro has been grown from 1900 to today. We've gone from phases of technology, including biodiesel and hybrid vehicles to adding wheelchair accessible buses to our fleet. All of our fixed-route buses have the ability to carry two bicycles and our Metro Connect vehicles service the entire county and reach into surrounding counties. For a more comprehensive history, view the Metro History 1900 to 2014 here.

In January, 2018, Metro Transit renamed the system to Metro.  This included an update of the name, logo, and color scheme of the fixed route system.  Metro County Connect became Metro Connect and Community Service Vans became Metro Share.  We look forward to the future of public transportation in Kalamazoo County.
