ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — Metro is warning commuters to expect delays today. It's because of -quote- "an unusually high number of MetroBus operators" calling in sick today, as well as turning down extra shifts.
Due to an unusually high number of MetroBus operators already calling off work for tomorrow (Monday) and declining to work extra assignments, we anticipate we will not be in a position to deliver the normally high quality service the region has come to expect every day.
