Info on Metrobus Frequencies
Frequency is freedom.
Having a frequent bus network is one of the best ways we can build and sustain transit usership. When a bus is frequent, missing a bus doesn’t mean a half-hour wait (or more) as punishment - it means knowing another bus is only a few minutes away.
Before 2018, only one bus line, the #70 Grand, ran every 15 minutes or better. As a part of a network redesign entitled Metro Reimagined, the #70 moved up to every 10 minutes, and 10 other bus lines were moved up to a 15 minute weekday frequency.
Unfortunately, COVID’s impact on transit has meant that most of these improvements were short-lived, and with November’s cuts, we’re back to only one line with a 15 minute frequency again. A few remain with 20 minute frequencies, but the scattered mess of a schedule below is a far cry from the predictable and easy bus schedules we were promised in Metro Reimagined. Bi-State claims these cuts are only temporary.
