Matbus Relocates Amid Structural Issues | Fargo News

Matbus is relocating next week after engineers discovered dangerous structural damage at its downtown Fargo hub—broken tendons and loose components mean safety can’t wait. The current station at 502 NP Ave shuts down Saturday, August 15th, with all fixed-route rides free that day as riders shift to a temporary spot at 222 4th St North (the old Downtown Engagement Center). While customer service remains available at the old location, the city’s decision to move rather than repair comes with a hefty price tag: $20–25 million for a new permanent center. Meanwhile, the adjacent Municipal Courthouse closes August 28th and reopens August 31st at the Civic Center—also soon to be transformed into a convention center. Riders won’t lose routes, but they’ll need to adjust to temporary stops while Fargo figures out its long-term transit future.
