To support transit riders during the COVID-19 pandemic, Metro temporarily expanded its Lyft program to provide customers in areas with suspended MetroBus service with access to $1 Lyft rides. With the restoration of service on the #56 Kirkwood-Webster route, the Lyft program will be discontinued along that corridor on August 31.

Beginning in late March, service on some lower-ridership MetroBus routes was temporarily suspended due to reduced workforce availability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As workforce resources have become more available in recent weeks, we have been able to restore service on some of these temporarily suspended routes. We hope to make additional modifications to transit services and continue to restore temporarily suspended bus routes later this year. The following Missouri MetroBus routes remain temporarily suspended:

• #17 Mackenzie
• #75 Christian Hospital: Alternative options available through our Lyft program
• Missouri Express Routes: Service on most Missouri Express routes continues to be temporarily suspended.

Before you ride, here are some quick reminders:

• Face coverings are required for all passengers and team members when riding Metro Transit.
• You can now buy MetroBus and MetroLink one-ride tickets and 2-hour passes through the Transit app with our new mobile fares.
• Stay updated on all service and operations updates in response to COVID-19 here: metrostlouis.org/health.
