TMC-RTS-08 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Since I live in the St. Louis area, I should share some info and pictures of transit agencies that run around here. Madison County Transit runs both local and express services for residents of Madison County, Illinois. The local is within Madison County, but they have buses that connects to a Metrolink lightrail station in East St. Louis. MCT's express service runs during the AM and PM rush hours; it starts in various cities within Madison County and goes to various destinations in downtown St. Louis and vice versa. MCT runs 73 buses. They consist of 1997 New Flyer D40LFs (201-239), 1998 D30LFs (240-265), and Ford Cutaways. Next year MCT will be running 40ft Gillig BRT buses. These BRTs are currently arriving to their facility, which will mean some of their 1997 New Flyers being retired.

Guest Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I like the paint scheme. Seeing "To Edwardsville" makes me think of the old "Illinois Terminal" interurbans. Thank you for introducing us to your system!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
