PROPOSED JANUARY 2024 SERVICE CHANGE
Madison County Transit (MCT) is considering implementing significant adjustments to service at the January 2024 Service Change in response to low ridership on some routes, and exciting new destinations. Due to staggeringly low ridership on the Gateway Commerce Center express routes, MCT is proposing eliminating the #24X Riverbend- Gateway Commerce Center Express and the #25X Collinsville-Gateway Commerce Center Express. MCT is also proposing the creation of express service to City Park in St. Louis for home St. Louis City SC soccer games, beginning in 2024.
MCT will host several open house-style information sessions to engage the public, gather feedback, and answer questions about the proposed changes.
