I was not aware that the #35 Rock Road was up for evaluation. Wow! I’m wondering why?? I take the 35 because I work on St Charles Rock Rd at Taussig and I live all the way downtown in the loft area district. I used to take the 35 that departed at 6:53am but I changed because it became crowded. I take the one that departs at 6:13am. Traveling from the Rock Road all the way down towards the Mills gives me the blues. Its too long of a ride. I LOVE the route from Hanley towards the Rock Road. I’m not on the bus that long and the time I ride its a comfortable amount of people. I love space!! I’m considering purchasing a car because I’v been riding the bus for so long, but plan to park at the station and still take the 35. If its eliminated, then I will have to burn more gas and add a lot of miles. Dang Metro, my heart is broken…WTH!
I have an additional comment. I understand Metro has to make adjustments. Alot of people do not take change very well. I work for a nation wide company so I know what its like for budget meetings. Cutting back to keep operation going, improve areas for the better and unfortunately there will be losses. I feel confident it will work out for the best. Too many people work out on the Rock Road such as myself so if I can put something on your heart, please remember us. Metro do what you need to because in order to continue to grow bigger and better there has to be change. ~Love,Shenna
