Full Metro Call-A-Ride services to resume after cyberattack

In an 11 a.m. update, a spokeswoman for Metro said Call-A-Ride services will resume at 12:30 for trips that were scheduled for 12:30 through the end of the day.

ST. LOUIS — All Metro Call-A-Ride services will resume Tuesday afternoon after a cyberattack Monday.

In a statement, Bi-State Development President Taulby Roach said Metro Transit froze its systems on Monday to defend against the "malicious action." He said he believes the move protected the systems and allowed transit services to run properly on Monday, but some services are being affected.

Roach said the scheduling software was still being recovered after the attack Tuesday morning.

"Because our scheduling software is still being recovered for Metro Call-A-Ride, we are only able to provide life critical appointments today to dialysis treatments," the statement said.

In an 11 a.m. update, a spokeswoman for Metro said Call-A-Ride services will resume at 12:30 for trips that were scheduled for 12:30 through the end of the day. The phones and reservation system are starting to be resumed as well.

MetroLink and MetroBus services are not affected.
