Reminder: trackless trams
Driving back to city near SOCO 55/Union and the county is salting the roads like there is a blizzard coming. It is 1am and above freezing and never was there a chance of anything but a few flurries as the temp dropped tonight and nothing after 2am. What. Now the streets are covered again in salt. There is no rain in the forecast for 2 weeks and this crap will create more potholes and environmental damage.
Who makes these decisions? Did they need a "quota" Met? This is insane! I swear these decisions are why STLCO is so broke too.

Car culture is completely cooked. As someone who likes cars, I’ve seen it coming for a while.

^It's been known for a while that the young people that St. Louis needs to retain want Metrolink expanded and like to live in transit oriented cities. It seems like St. Louis leadership is doing everything in its power to not make that a reality.

This popped up on my feed at random. Apparently Iowa is apparently subsidizing a new Greyhound bus between Des Moines and St. Louis. Pretty cool, I'm a big fan of inter-city busses.

Des Moines ? If one can connect Greyhound via 80 to Chicago Then good for folks in that area of the county

Maybe in 70 years we can get Amtrak service to Minneapolis via Des Moines.

Upcoming MoDOT meeting regarding the I-64 reconstruction project between Boyle and Compton https://www.modot.org/node/87018 Sounds like it will involve a year long closure of eastbound I-64.
34k+ at Busch tonight, higher than normal is visitors staying at hotels, only the Red Line is running. It's an embarrassment.

The fact that we can’t get back to 10 minute headways for each line anyways, but even when they close down vital stations and run the blue line only to Debaliviere when there are big events and they still only run 20 minute red line headways. You can literally just allocate the resources that you would be for running the normal blue line in order to run more redlines if it is truly necessary to do track maintenance at that time

Someone needs to be holding Metro accountable or they're going to continue not giving a f*** about providing quality service. Without pressure from local politicians and/or advocacy groups its not going to get better.
