With the opening
of MetroLink to Clayton on Aug. 28 for revenue service, there will
be many changes to the connecting MetroBus routes. Below are some
of the routes and changes that could affect your employees.
01 WUSTL
Gold Line This route replaces the 93 Lindell as it operated
between Kingshighway and Clayton via Waterman, Pershing, and Wydown.
A branch of the route replaces the 58 Clayton Ballas and the 97
Delmar Forsyth on Forsyth between Skinker and the City of Clayton.
This new route operates along McPherson and Euclid to the Central
West End transfer center adjacent to the CWE MetroLink station.
It replaces the Washington University Gold Line for Washington University
students and employees.
02 WUSTL
Red Line This route replaces the 64 Lucas Hunt along Ferguson
in Pagedale. It replaces Washington University's Red Line along
Clayton Road and in the DeMun neighborhood to the Galleria, Brentwood
Promenade, and Maplewood Commons. It replaces Washington University's
Blue Line serving the North Campus and the Delmar MetroLink station
to the Mallinckrodt Center on the Danforth Campus of Washington
University. The new route serves the Rock Road station, the Delmar
station, Skinker station, Richmond Heights station and the Brentwood
I-64 station on MetroLink as well.
03 Forest
Park Circulator This is a summer seasonal shuttle route serving
the major institutions within Forest Park. This route operates every
15 minutes, seven days a week between Memorial Day and Labor Day
weekends. The Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Art Museum and
the Saint Louis Zoo are served all year by the 90 Hampton. The 59
Kirkwood Shaw serves the Saint Louis Science Center.
04 Natural
Bridge This route operates without change between the North
Hanley MetroLink station and Jefferson Ave. at Olive. At this intersection,
the new route is via Olive, Ewing and Market past A. G. Edwards.
This deviation replaces service from the former 52 Clayton South
County on Market from Ewing to Jefferson. The revised 04 Natural
Bridge also operates via 14th Street and Spruce from Market to Tucker
in both directions. This new routing provides service to the Civic
Center MetroLink station and the Federal Building.
08 Bates
The 08 Bates replaces the 90 Hampton south of the Hampton MetroBus
Center at Gravois and provides a new MetroLink connection at the
Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 station. The following streets are served:
Jamieson, Germania, Morganford, Bates, S. Grand, Loughborough, Broadway
and Marseau. The route operates seven a days a week, including nights.
From Germania and Morganford, the route operates an alternating
loop.
10 Gravois
The Watson Road branch of the 10 Gravois has been eliminated. However,
peak-hour-only service is operated on Heege Rd. between Laclede
Station Rd. and Gravois. In downtown, the route is operated inbound
to Market on 14th Street instead of Clark.
11 Chippewa
This route diverts from Watson via River Des Peres to serve the
Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 MetroLink station. This route no longer
serves Sunset Hills Plaza via Rott, Geyer, and Watson. It has been
extended north on Lindbergh and west on Big Bend to serve Meramec
Community College in Kirkwood. Service to the corner of Lindbergh
and Rott is now provided on the 49 Lindbergh and the new 59 Shaw
Kirkwood.
13 Union
Shaw This route no longer operates on Waterman between Union
and Kingshighway. It now operates via Union to Lindell to W. Pine
to Kingshighway. The route operates via Barnes Plaza Drive, Clayton
and Taylor to the new Central West End MetroBus Transfer Center.
This route no longer operates south via Taylor to the Shaw neighborhood.
Instead it replaces the service that was operated by the 52 Clayton
South County along Forest Park, Vandeventer and Lindell to Grand.
From Grand and Lindell the route operates south via Grand to Park,
Park to 39th to Shaw, Tower Grove to Magnolia to Thurman. This segment
of the 13 replaces service operated in part by the 80 Southampton
and the 13 Union Botanical Garden. Service to the Missouri Botanical
Garden is provided on the revised 93 Midtown South County.
15 Hodiamont
The 15 Hodiamont no longer operates downtown. This segment has
been replaced seven days a week by the 57 Manchester. The eastern
terminus of the 15 Hodiamont is the Metro Main Shop at Compton and
Spruce. Service on this route operates hourly on weekdays only.
16 City
Limits This route originates on the north end at the Riverview-Hall
MetroBus Transfer Center. During the peak hours the route operates
from the Riverview-Hall MetroBus Transfer Center to Manchester.
Until the transit loop at the Manchester station is completed, the
southern end of the route will be the Metro Brentwood Garage near
Manchester and Brentwood Blvd. Midday frequency south of the Delmar
station is hourly. Service from the Delmar MetroLink station north
is every 30 minutes all day.
17 Oakville
This new route, operating Monday through Saturday, serves Oakville,
Lemay, Mehlville, Afton, and Shrewsbury to the new Shrewsbury-Lansdowne
I-44 MetroLink station. The route serves South County Mall, McKenzie
Point, Union Road, Sappington Barracks, Telegraph and McKenzie.
18 Taylor
The 18 Taylor serves the new Central West End MetroBus Transfer
Center. While there are revised times, the route does not change
otherwise.
27 North
County Shuttle The 27 North County Shuttle has been extended
to the Riverview-Hall MetroBus Transfer Center. Peak hour frequency
between Florissant Valley Community College and the Riverview-Hall
MetroBus Center is every 30 minutes, replacing service previously
provided along this route by the 41 Northside Express.
30 Soulard
This route now also serves the Maplewood-Manchester MetroLink station
on Manchester near Laclede Station Rd. This route has two minor
route changes. Downtown, the route operates north via 4th to Washington
past the Convention Center MetroLink station. Southbound it operates
east via Washington and south on Broadway. The route no longer operates
on 7th or 8th past the Stadium MetroLink station. This change was
made to avoid baseball game detours when 7th Street is closed. It
also provides more service for the major downtown hotels along 4th
and Broadway to and from America's Center. The second route change
includes routing via 2nd and Utah past the Defense Mapping Agency
in both east and westbound directions.
32 Wellston-ML
King This route has no route changes, but there is a revised
bus schedule. 33 Dorsett Lackland There are no route changes, but
there are minor time changes.
34 Earth
City There are minor time changes to coordinate with MetroLink
service.
36 Spanish
Lake The 36 Spanish Lake has been extended south to the new
Riverview-Hall MetroBus Transfer Center via Bellefontaine and Riverview
to Hall St. There have been time changes to improve schedule connectivity
at the Riverview-Hall MetroBus Transfer Center.
40 Broadway
There have been two changes on the 40 Broadway. Downtown, the
northbound route passes the Convention Center MetroLink station
via Market, 7th, Washington back to 4th Street. Southbound the route
reverses, but uses 8th St. between Washington and Market. These
changes permit direct connection to a MetroLink station. The northern
terminus of the route is the new Riverview-Hall MetroBus Transfer
Center. There is no direct service into Jennings on this route.
41 Lee The
north end of the route terminates at the Riverview-Hall MetroBus
Transfer Center rather than at Jennings and Halls Ferry. In downtown,
the route loops via Market, 4th St., Washington, replacing the summer
routing to the 14th & Spruce MetroBus Transfer Center caused by
the closing of River Roads.
42 Sarah
At the southern end of this route, instead of terminating at the
Metro Main Shop, the 42 Sarah loops past the Main Shop after stopping
at the Grand MetroLink station on Scott. The permanent route operates
north on Compton, west on Forest Park to north on Sarah before proceeding
north on the regular route. This change creates a one-way loop at
the southern end route making it more effective for passengers who
board south of Forest Park along Sarah or Chouteau. While the Compton
Bridge is closed for reconstruction, the route will operate to the
Metro Main Shop and return to Vandeventer past the Grand MetroLink
station.
45 Hazelwood
Ferguson Service along Lindbergh past the Ford Motor Plant between
Dunn Road and McDonnell Boulevard has been eliminated, but service
remains on this segment on the 66 Clayton Airport. The 66 Clayton
Airport serves Lambert International Airport (with a walking connection
to MetroLink) and connects with MetroLink in downtown Clayton. The
change allows the 45 Hazelwood to serve McDonnell Boulevard west
of Campus Parkway at all times. It operates via Howdershell, Dunn
Road and Lynhaven back to Lindbergh.
46 Tesson
Ferry The 46 Tesson Ferry replaces service previously provided
on the 47 Cross County south of Laclede Station and Murdoch. The
Shrewsbury MetroLink Branch provides the connection to Clayton on
this new route at the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 station.
47 Cross
County service on Laclede Station Rd. between Murdoch and Big
Bend has been eliminated as was service on Hanley Rd. between Laclede
Station and Manchester. 47 Hanley Rd. The 47 Hanley replaces bus
service operated on the 47 Cross County north of Clayton. Service
along Brentwood, Eager Rd. and Hanley Rd. provided by the 47 Cross
County has been replaced by the new 1 WUSTL Gold Line. Service on
Folk and Big Bend is provided by the revised 16 City Limits and
the new 56 Kirkwood Webster Shuttle. No service is provided on Big
Bend between Laclede Station Road and Sunnen Drive.
49 Lindbergh
There are two route modifications to the 49 Lindbergh. Service
between the Ballas MetroBus Transfer Center and Manchester via Ballas
Rd. has been rerouted to use Ballas, Clayton, and Des Peres Road
to Manchester. This improves the frequency along Des Peres Rd.,
where service on the 57 Manchester has been removed. The 57 Manchester
operated only hourly to Ballas, whereas the 49 Lindbergh operates
every 30 minutes to and from the Ballas MetroBus Transfer Center
during the peak hours and hourly during midday. Secondly, this route
no longer operates on Lindbergh Blvd. between Olive Blvd. and Schuetz
Rd. Instead it operates via Lindbergh onto Olive, Old Olive, Guelbreth
to Schuetz and back onto Lindbergh. This change allows safer transferring
to the 91 Olive and 94 Page - Schuetz-Baur branch.
56 Kirkwood
Webster This new route replaces service previously provided
in Kirkwood and Webster on the 11X Shrewsbury Express and 92 Lindenwood.
The route also replaces service on Laclede Station Rd. and on Big
Bend north of Sunnen Dr. now operated the 47 Cross County. The 56
Kirkwood Webster Shuttle provides a connection to MetroLink at the
Sunnen and ultimately the Maplewood-Manchester stations. Because
the Maplewood-Manchester station bus loop is not complete, the northern
terminus of this route will be Maplewood Commons at Bruno and Hanley
Road. From Sunnen Drive and Big Bend, the route operates north on
Big Bend, west on Folk to Hanley Rd. to Bruno. Weekend service and
evening service is provided on this route. Weekend service is also
offered to the St. Louis County Museum of Transportation on this
route.
57 Manchester
This route has been extended to downtown St. Louis via Chouteau.
Until the bridge at Chouteau and Vandeventer is open, this route
will operate past the Grand MetroLink station on the Grand Bridge.
When the new bridge is opened, the route will operate direct via
Chouteau to 14th Street without a connection to the Grand MetroLink
station. This route no longer serves the Ballas MetroBus Transfer
Center and no longer operates to Ellisville. Service west of Ballas
Road is provided on the new 58 Ellisville, which serves the Ballas
MetroBus Transfer Center with an express connection to MetroLink
at the Brentwood I-64 station. Service on Des Peres Rd., previously
provided on the 57 Manchester, is provided on the revised 49 Lindbergh.
West County Mall is served only on eastbound trips. Westbound 57
Manchester operates west past I-270 and loops back eastbound via
Movie Drive to Manchester Rd.
58 Ellisville-Chesterfield
This route replaces the service provided on the 57 Manchester west
of I-270. The western terminus of this route is at Wildwood Town
Centre rather than Ellisville Town Center. The 58 Chesterfield replaces
service operated by the 58 Clayton Ballas. The 58 Ellisville-Chesterfield
provides a connection with MetroLink at the Brentwood I-64 station
and operates express to the Ballas MetroBus Transfer Center via
I-64. Service operated from the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink
station through Forest Park, and along Forsyth and Brentwood Blvd.
has been eliminated on this route. MetroLink service and the #1
WUSTL Gold replaces this service on Forsyth.

Kirkwood The 59 Shaw Kirkwood replaces segments of six MetroBus
routes including the 11 Chippewa, 13 Union Garden, 47 Cross County,
52 Clayton South County, 66 Brentwood Airport, and 80 Southampton.
This route originates at Sunset Plaza and operates via Lindbergh,
Big Bend, Gore, Lockwood, Elm to Kirkham and onto Brentwood Blvd.
The route operates on Eager Rd. to the Dale and the Brentwood I-64
MetroLink station. From the Brentwood I-64 station, the route operates
to the Central West End MetroLink station in a similar manner as
the former Dale branch of the 52 Clayton South County. At the Central
West End MetroLink station, the route operates south to the Shaw
neighborhood via Taylor, Chouteau, Tower Grove, Shaw and south on
39th to Shenandoah to Thurman.
60 Midland
The 60 Midland has two route changes. First, it has been rerouted
via Midland to Delmar rather than Midland to Olive to Skinker. Second,
the route has been modified to connect with MetroLink at the University
City-Big Bend station and terminate at Washington University's Mallinckrodt
Center instead of at the Delmar MetroLink station.
61 Chambers
The 61 Chambers now terminates on the east end at the Riverview-Hall
MetroBus Transfer Center rather than at River Roads. Service on
Saturday is improved in frequency from every 90 minutes to every
60 minutes.

The 80 Lafayette Square operates a bi-directional loop from the
Civic Center MetroBus Transfer Center using Truman Parkway, Park,
Grand, Russell, and Mississippi. The 80 Southampton service west
of Grand has been replaced by segments of at least four new routes
including 13 Union Shaw, 59 Shaw Kirkwood, 92 Macklind, 93 Midtown
S. County.

operates on Germania, Marseau, Morganford, Bates, Grand, Loughborough,
and Broadway. It connects with the new Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44
Metrolink station using Jamieson and Lansdowne. Finally, additional
service has been added on the 90 Hampton to serve the Forest Park

to Sarah. This route operates to the Central West End MetroLink
station via Sarah, Clayton, Boyle, Duncan, and Taylor to the new
Central West End MetroBus Transfer Center.
93 Midtown
South County The 93 Midtown South County replaces portions of
the 52 Clayton South County, 80 Southampton, 92 Lindenwood, and
93 Lindell. The route connects at the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44,
Central West End, and Convention Center MetroLink stations. The
93 Midtown South County operates into downtown northbound via 12th

it operates Washington eastbound, south on Broadway to 7th Street.
The 93 Midtown operates to Kingshighway from downtown via Washington,
Tucker, Olive and Lindell in a similar manner as the 93 Lindell.

the Central West End, this route generally follows the routing of
the 80 Southampton and 92 Lindenwood and terminates at the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne
I-44 MetroLink station. This route serves the Missouri Botanical

route for many of the downtown hotels connecting major tourist venues
