Saving MetroBus route 9 and improving bus ridership in south county

Metro Bus route number 9 connects several things together such as the River City Casino, grocery stores and restaurants.  Making ridership be very high in south county is great since it could help trigger expansion and that is great for those who are our ages to be able to find work and keep jobs.  One of the bus routes that could be one of the next in line to close is MetroBus route number 9.  It runs from the Shrewsbury station, then it heads south on S. Broadway, continues south ont Kingston, and then further south onto Telegraph Road.  The route provides a nice connection to Jefferson Barracks Park and National Cemetery.  Taking a ride on it just to see where it goes might be the ticket to finding places on where to work as well.  As for now, the line runs only on the weekdays and it runs only an hour apart.  But if we get enough riders on this line, it would help big time such as getting the ridership count going in the right direction and that is a big hit for those who want to find work like at a grocery store, at a casino, etc.  

 

Here is the map for that route:

Here is the schedule for that route:

Lets see if we can get that route to go from being a route with low ridership to becoming a route with high ridership.
