Five In-Person Opportunities This Week to Learn More About December MetroBus Service Changes

Metro Transit customers are invited to any one of five in-person open houses this week, and a virtual open house next Monday, to learn about changes coming to MetroBus service during the next quarterly service change in December. To improve transit service for MetroBus customers, Metro Transit will implement major changes to 18 current MetroBus routes in Missouri and Illinois starting December 2.

These improvements are made possible due to the success of Metro Transit’s recruitment, training and retention efforts over the last 18 months. Dozens of new MetroBus operators have joined the team. With these resources, Metro Transit is positioned to make improvements to MetroBus service and coverage across several routes in December:

 MISSOURI

#21 Watson | #31 Chouteau | #35 Rock Road | #40 N. Broadway | #41 Lee | #47 Hanley | #49 Lindbergh

#60 Shepley-Lilac | #76 McDonnell-Waterford | #77 Village Square | #78 Bellefontaine | #79 Ferguson

#100 Hazelwood | #174X Halls Ferry Express

ILLINOIS

#12 O’Fallon-Fairview Heights | #14 Memorial Hospital | #15 Belleville-O’Fallon-Shiloh

#16 St. Clair Square | #23 SWIC (New Route)

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES
Transit customers are invited to upcoming Public Open Houses to meet directly with Metro Transit team members to learn more, ask questions and share feedback on the December service change. More details on MetroBus changes, including new route maps, are also available at metrostlouis.org/servicechange.

To request an accommodation for an open house, such as alternative format materials or interpreter, please contact ADA Services at 314.982.1525 at least three days prior to the scheduled meeting.
