Metro restores North County bus service and expands Call-A-Ride Nov. 30

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Missouri — Metro Transit will restore bus service to parts of North St. Louis County on Nov. 30 and expand Call-A-Ride paratransit in the area along the new route.
The No. 71 Patterson-Lindbergh route will connect the Riverview Hall and North Hanley transit centers, with stops serving Patterson Road, Lindbergh Boulevard, Florissant and New Halls Ferry. Buses are scheduled hourly on weekdays during the day and every 90 minutes at night and on weekends.
North Hanley gives riders a connection to MetroLink and other buses. The same service change adjusts 17 other bus routes. In the North County Via Metro STL zone, the maximum distance for one trip will fall from seven miles to five.
Metro says updated maps and schedules will be available Nov. 16. Riders who need disability paratransit can contact Metro’s ADA Services at 314-982-1510 to ask about eligibility and service boundaries.
