Metro Transit is using buses to shuttle Green Line riders between the Raymond Avenue and West Bank stations Wednesday morning after a train experienced a "power issue," an agency spokesman said.

The train became stuck about 7:30 a.m. near the Stadium Village Station, said spokesman Howie Padilla.

Metro Transit deployed buses to move passengers while crews towed the disabled train to a service garage.

Padilla said he hopes full service will resume by 9 a.m.
