Rider Alert: #80 First Trip of the Day Leaving Earlier to Facilitate Better Connections to MetroLink

An important schedule change is taking place bright and early tomorrow morning regarding the #80 Park Shaw MetroBus route.

 The very first trip of the day from Macklind & Arsenal to the Central West End will be starting SIX minutes earlier. That means the bus will leave at 4:24 a.m. now instead of 4:30 a.m. This change will allow the #80 passengers to catch the 4:48 a.m. westbound Blue Line train. This will result in a better MetroLink connection for those first customers of the day on the #80 so they can now connect to the first trips of the day on the #58, #158 and #258 at Clayton and Brentwood I-64 stations.

 Signs have been posted at MetroBus stops from Macklind & Arsenal to the Central West End to let customers know the new schedule goes into effect tomorrow morning.

    With the recent mugging at Rock Road station, I need to know what safety precautions you guys plan on doing. I am a student at umsl just like the recent victim. I have to leave early in the morning because of Metro’s bad scheduling for 33 and now I am scared to death of Metrolink.

    Its not the shooting that freaks me out. It is the fact that someone got mugged on a train, at what is probably the busiest time where everyone is getting off of work.

    Please put some security guards on ALL compartments of the trains so that we students will be safe.
