Metro's Operators of the Month
Did you know your bus driver?s artwork might be displayed on a Metro coach? Or that some of them enjoy working on cars and trucks, running, and biking? Or that they relax playing the stock market and working on taxes?
One thing is for sure: They are as unique as the people they provide transportation to every day, and all of them love driving and giving back to their community.
Meet your Operators of the Month for September and October 2022 on our?Metro Matters blog [ [link removed] ].

It?s National Apprenticeship Week!
Metro offers Apprenticeship programs in Rail, Transit Facilities & Vehicle Maintenance. Our apprentices participate in closely supervised on-the-job training and classroom education to help advance skills and careers.
?To be of service and give back is what I am most excited about. This apprenticeship means the world to me," Cindy Reyes Ramos, Maintenance Painter Apprentice, had so much to say about her experience. "My involvement in the apprenticeship is bigger than just me, it is about what comes after me and how I can pave the way for future apprentices."
