Outdated Info At MetroBus Shelter
One thing my friends and I want to accomplish with the Transit Riders Union of St. Louis is to get Metro to keep information provided to bus riders updated at least as well as info for MetroLink light rail riders, we’ve all noticed a separate and unequal treatment.
ABOVE: Outdated transit info in the shelter on the NE corner of Kingshighway @ Manchester
Another friend, a regular MetroBus user, posted the above pic on Facebook Tuesday and I asked if I could use it. He called Metro to report the information was way out of date.
ABOVE: The fares listed were effective as of August 28,2006
Really? Information from five years ago still up at a bus shelter!
ABOVE: The regular fare is no longer $1.75
The current fare is $2.00 so there has only been one fare increase since August 2006. It’s possible my friend just happened upon the only shelter that didn’t get updated but it’s also possible others are also outdated. I know I’m going to pay more attention to the information at shelters. Hat tip to S.A. for noticing!
