ST. LOUIS – Metro is holding eight public houses to share with customers the bi-state MetroBus changes being rolled out on December 2. One new route is to be added and 18 routes will see significant changes.
Metro says the changes are improvements that were made possible through their ability to retain employees over the past 18 months. They’ve added, trained, and held onto dozens of new MetroBus operators.
Metro said they’re positioned “to make improvements to service frequency and coverage across several MetroBus routes.”
In Missouri the following routes will see changes:
- #21 Watson
