Metro Area Transit (MAT) operates Monday through Saturday, offering 25 routes to provide
you with affordable, quality transportation. All buses are wheelchair-accessible.

MAT Announces Token Retirement:  MAT will retire bus tokens and
discontinue their usage on January 1, 2011.  Passengers will be able to use their current inventory of tokens through December 31, 2010.  Any tokens must be used by this date; any remaining tokens will not be exchanged and no monetary refunds will be given.  On February 1, 2010, MAT discontinued the sale of tokens
and began selling single-ride tickets, in packets of 20, in place of tokens.  For more information, click HERE (.PDF).

MAT Completes Farebox Conversion:  MAT has installed new fareboxes on all of its fixed route buses.  The former MAT passes will no longer be accepted on any bus - passengers need to  exchange any old transit passes for new MAT passes.  Any remaining time or rides will be transferred onto new passes.

Permanent Route Modifications:  The following Fargo routes have been modified since the release of the 08.01.2009 edition of the MAT Bus Schedule / Map: Route 25 (.PDF), Route 31 (.PDF) and Route 34 (.PDF).

Parades and Detours: None at this time.
