LA Metro has suspended fare collection on trains and buses until Sunday as wildfires continue to ravage parts of the region, officials said Saturday.
The agency said earlier this week that LA County Supervisor and Metro Board Chairwoman Janice Hahn authorized the agency to stop collecting fares across its entire system. The agency extended free rides over the weekend to help residents get around, including to shelters.

Officials said commuters should allow extra time because wildfires and wind have affected bus and rail operations.
