The North County Transit Center won’t officially open to the public until Monday, March 14, but that doesn’t mean we can’t provide you with a sneak peek.

The transit center, located at 3140 Pershall Road in Ferguson, Mo., is the newest addition to the Metro system and is a key transit hub for the region, providing easier and more efficient service for MetroBus riders to get to jobs, school and other important destinations in North St. Louis County and throughout the region.

The completion of the North County Transit Center allowed Metro to develop a new and completely redesigned MetroBus service plan for North St. Louis County, one of the region’s fastest growing transit markets accounting for almost 20 percent of all MetroLink and MetroBus boardings. This new service plan, which goes into effect on Monday, March 14, provides more frequent service, more direct service, faster transfers and connections to more destinations for many passengers who live, work, do business or travel through North St. Louis County.

When it opens to service on Monday, the transit center will serve nine MetroBus routes and Metro Call‑A‑Ride. The facility will provide passengers with the highest level of amenities the Metro system currently has to offer.

Are you curious to see what the new transit center looks like in person? Join us for an Open House event this Sunday, March 13 ahead of the March 14 Quarterly Service Change to visit the transit center and learn more about the new North County MetroBus service plan.
