Those who staff and depend on the St. Louis region’s public transit system have seen significant changes in recent days, particularly with the implementation of Metro Reimagined, Metro Transit’s overhaul of its Missouri-side bus lines.

On Wednesday’s St. Louis on the Air, host Sarah Fenske talked with transit riders and other stakeholders about the current state and future of public transit in the region.

Joining the conversation were Metro Transit Executive Director Jessica Mefford-Miller, Citizens for Modern Transit board member D'Andre Braddix and St. Louis resident and frequent transit rider Mitch Eagles. The discussion also included pre-recorded comments and live calls from commuters.

Take a listen:

The show is hosted by Sarah Fenske and produced by Alex Heuer, Emily Woodbury, Evie Hemphill, Lara Hamdan, Alexis Moore and Tonina Saputo.
