I do want to congradulate the Planning staff for buying Chevrolet Kodiak 4500s for Call-a-Ride. A 6.6 liter Duromax engine is much stronger than a 6.0 liter Powerstroke. They have tilt hoods and evaproator core and condensor for the air conditioner are right where they should be. They even have overload springs. Just like on the Gilligs. The Fords have regular springs and if you don’t opt for the overload springs for your van when it comes to severe service work, you are sking for trouble.

What is in store for the #56 Kirkwood Webster? I hope they are going to expand it to the Museum of Transport again. But the #49 Lindbergh split at the Ballas Transit Center is just plain stupid! We got in trouble with the voters for that the last time it was done. It was either a missed connection or crossing Dangerous Clayton Road! I am glad that the #99 will serve the City Museum. The CM is a very hot place for tourism. There is even a theatre organ in there.

Thanks for the feedback! The #99 will have some rerouting and marketing changes. Part of the change will incorporate the City Museum to allow more local and out-of-town tourists to access CM by transit. We’ve heard a lot about the signage issue with the route too, and hope to improve it to incorporate all the great shopping, restaurants, hotels, etc. along the way.

The #32 will end now at Rock Road station, and extending service will be on the new #35 Rock Road Mills.

With 32, you guys should make it run every 15mins. I had the displeasure of being on it at 4:50/5:00ish and it was too crowded. People standing everywhere. 94 gets like that too. Or you could just cut the buses in half and have them be called something different. Maybe have 32 end at Rock Road. All I know is that there are just too many people on there.

The #99 downtown circulator, would be better if it was re-routed to major points that the residents and tourist go to. And I hope the BRT would be used on city streets instead highways. One more thing, I get lots of visitor and local who have questions concerning locating signage, direction of route, and points of interest located at them.

Thanks for listening.

Thank you, St. Louis County, for passing this tax increase! I would love to see the #56 bus from Webster Groves to St. Louis Community College at Meramec restored. This fall we will have two students at Meramec, and both want to ride the bus, rather than driving.

I am extremely happy transit’s bid was passed. The BIGGEST route I want restored is the 32 Wellston. Please allow it to go past 270. I work at Allied Waste which is at the corner of Taussig and St Charles Rk Rd. I currently ride the 34 Mills/Harrah and I hate that bus. Its TOO over crowded and I hat it when people have to stand(including me at times)while the bus rides the highway. That is a major safety issue to me. The bus doesn’t have seatbelts for all the passengers. Anyway I am begging, please restore the 32. I promise you I’m not the only one.

Courtney – I agree with other readers. Metro planning team should consider fewer stops on some routes. that makes lot of sense and maybe can attract more riders.

also, this may be wishful thinking nevertheless i am going to put them forth. do u think you will be able to install a bike rack in forest park and at least a recycle paper bin in one of the stations – forest park or central west end?
