Metro bus and rail service resumed Sunday morning, after being shut down because of the protests and violence from Saturday.
Metro had to suspend service at 8 p.m. as the day’s protests morphed into looting and violence.
“We took this action out of utmost concern for the public and our employees during the growing severity of this protest,” said an apologetic Metro CEO Phil Washington in a statement Sunday morning.

The suspension had left riders stranded, so Metro said it sent some buses and vehicles to pick them up in certain parts of Los Angeles to get them home.
The agency said Sunday it would reimburse people who can verify they were able to get rides on Uber, Lyft or taxi to replace a Metro trip. Those riders should contact Metro Customer Relations at 323.GO.METRO (323) 466-3876.
