New North County Transit Center to Open
Major MetroBus Service
Change Begins on March 14
North county transit center. Metro’s quarterly service change on March 14 will impact the operations of 48 MetroBus routes in the St. Louis metropolitan region, including the introduction of nine new MetroBus routes and discontinuation of service on eight routes. This service change will also introduce a new and completely redesigned MetroBus service plan for North St. Louis County, made possible with the opening of the new North County Transit Center in Ferguson, Missouri on March 14.
“The new North County Transit Center is the latest example of Metro’s commitment to build a better transit system and a better transit experience for our riders,” said Ray Friem, executive director of Metro Transit. “In addition to offering amenities like public restrooms, security 24 hours a day/seven days a week and an indoor passenger waiting area, this new transit center allows us to redesign MetroBus service in a way that provides even better transit options for passengers who live, work or travel in North St. Louis County, one of our fastest growing transit markets.”
The new MetroBus service plan for North St. Louis County will provide more frequent service, more direct service, faster transfers and connections to more destinations throughout the region. Metro conducted public information sessions last fall at transit centers and encouraged online participation to engage riders about transit service in North St. Louis County, and the feedback received through these sessions helped Metro create the new service plan for North St. Louis County.
Outside of North St. Louis County, several MetroBus routes serving downtown St. Louis, West St. Louis County, Illinois and other areas in the region will experience changes on March 14, including route and/or schedule adjustments. MetroLink schedules will not be impacted by the March 14 quarterly service change.
