Service to some Metro trains was affected on Tuesday night. At the time, E-Line trains were turned back at Jefferson and Pico stations due to police activity. Bus shuttles were requested.
Trains also skipped the Ortho/23rd St. Station and riders were advised to use the J Line as an alternate route.
