Brownsville Metro Service Restored to Sunrise Mall After Four Years

A "Bus Stop" post with a paper sign affixed announced resumption of Brownsville Metro's service to Sunrise Mall effective 2/27/17.

Service directly into the mall parking area had been discontinued in November 2012 when a disagreement arose between mall management and Brownsville Metro over pavement repair.

As Brownsville Metro Director Norma Zamora explained at the time:  “There was no way that the Brownsville (Metro) or the city could take responsibility for repairing the entire parking lot and all the damages that were being expected to be fixed,” Zamora said, adding that more than city buses drive through the mall parking lot. “They’ve got the delivery trucks and all sorts of school buses that go through there.”

Brownsville Metro Back in Business at Sunrise Mall
Today, employees of Brownsville Metro removed the paper notice of renewed service and appeared to survey the area for a replacement service booth.

Shortly, a Brownsville Metro bus appeared to discharge and accept passengers.

  3. The mall's manager is an arrogant asshole! It is a shame he has not been replaced with someone who will address the restroom and rent issues. Cutting off bus service was another example of his poor judgment!
