Keeping You Safe During COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has required all of us to make changes. One thing that hasn’t changed is our focus on ensuring you, your fellow passengers and all of our team members can travel safely on Metro Transit.

Since March 2020, we have made adjustments to transit operations and policies to protect our riders and operators, while continuing to provide vital transportation options for everyone who needs to connect with their important destinations throughout the region.

This page is updated with the latest information on service changes and transit operations, as well as the steps we are taking to keep everyone safe on the Metro Transit system during this pandemic.

If you have questions, please contact Metro Transit Information at 314-231-2345 (phone) or 314-207-9786 (text), available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., or email us at [email protected]. Changes to service are also published on our Twitter and Facebook.

What You Need to Know Before You Ride

• On April 18, 2022, the TSA rescinded its order requiring masks on public transportation. Masks and face coverings are now optional, and are no longer required when riding Metro Transit or at MetroLink Stations and Metro Transit Centers.
• All passengers must have a valid fare or pass while riding MetroBus, MetroLink and Metro Call‑A‑Ride.
• You can use our Transit app with new mobile fares to buy MetroBus and MetroLink one-ride tickets, two-hour passes, monthly passes, and our new $5 Metro Day Pass.
• Paper transfers and 2-hour passes are temporarily suspended – MetroBus riders will pay a reduced rate for each boarding.
