Franklin County Would Like to See Expansion of Public Transit - The Missourian

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

“I would love to see more mass transit activities in the county,” Griesheimer said. “A large section of our population drives to St. Louis every day for work and buses or light rail to this area would be a great asset for residents.”

Griesheimer added there was Bi-State bus service to the eastern edge of the county in the late 1990s when a series of grants funded the route to Pacific for about two years. . . .

Griesheimer said in addition to bus routes to and from St. Louis, he would like to see public transportation from town to town within the county as well and would even support Metrolink to expand to this area in the form of commuter trains.

“I’m open to all forms of transit,” Griesheimer said. “I’ve advocated for something like this for a long time. It would get people out of cars and help with traffic.”
