The first phase of activation on July 6 will include 13 MetroLink stations. At the 13 stations, riders will officially experience the new Ticket Vending Machines, fare validators, and automated security gates for the first time.
To open the MetroLink security gates independently, you just need to follow three steps:
- Pay Your Way
- Purchase fare by using the Transit app or a Ticket Vending Machine.
- Validate Your Fare
- If your phone or ticket has a QR code, use the scanner on the validator in front of your security gate. If you have a Ride On card or pass with no QR code, use the tap reader on the validator.
- Move Through the Gate
- And enjoy your ride with Metro!
The 13 MetroLink stations in phase one include:
- Central West End
- Civic Center
- College
- Cortex
- Delmar Loop
- East Riverfront
- Emerson Park
