For a while, Krystal relied on ride sharing services to get her from Point A to Point B, but the costs were adding up — she needed a cheaper alternative. Luckily, she had Metro Transit.

Krystal is a student at St. Louis Community College and works a full-time job as well. She needed transportation that could provide easy access to school, work and home — that was within her budget.

Since Krystal is a student at St. Louis Community College, she can take advantage of the University Pass program. The U-Pass program provides students like Krystal unlimited rides on MetroBus and MetroLink.

“Metro Transit saves me money,” she said. “I can put that money into a savings account.”

Krystal relies on the #74 Florissant and the #61 Chambers MetroBus routes to get her to school and to work each day.

“I don’t drive,” she said. “So, I love using public transportation.”
