Metro Transit Service Change Scheduled for November 29 – Schedules Available

Includes adjustments to 38 Missouri MetroBus routes

New schedules and MetroBus route maps are available for the November 29 Service Change which will improve service reliability for Missouri MetroBus riders. Metro Transit will make adjustments to schedules and service frequency for 38 MetroBus routes in the City of St. Louis and in St. Louis County on November 29. This includes the temporary suspension of service on six MetroBus routes. There are no changes to MetroBus routes in Illinois or to MetroLink train schedules on the 46-mile system.

Like other transit agencies and businesses, Metro Transit has been challenged by the nationwide labor shortage. Due to a shortage of bus operators, it is sometimes necessary to cancel scheduled MetroBus trips on a daily basis, which leads to inconvenient delays for MetroBus riders. These changes to MetroBus service will be implemented to improve service reliability and minimize or eliminate cancelled bus trips, while Metro Transit continues to aggressively recruit and train new operators.

Details for the November 29 Service Change are available below. New schedules and route maps for the affected MetroBus routes that serve the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County are available on the Upcoming Schedule Changes page of metrostlouis.org and on the Transit app. For assistance or more information, please contact Metro Transit Information at 314.207.9786 (text) or 314.231.2345 (phone), available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
