"After hearing from riders, Metro Transit decided to retain 80 stops that it originally planned to remove or relocate," reports Janelle O'Dea.

"At the end of June, Metro Transit announced on that on [sic] July 15, they would start relocating or removing 450 bus stops in St. Louis city and county," according to O'Dea.

Separate lists on the transit agency's website make it clear which stops are back in and which are still out.

The bus stop consolidation is separate from an ongoing system redesign project underway called Metro Reimagined.
