Nicole has been riding Metro for more than 40 years, and uses both MetroLink and MetroBus to commute to work in downtown St. Louis, visit different sites in the city, or head to Clayton.

She enjoys using Metro because it saves her time, gas and mileage. She also likes that public transportation is easily available as an option for getting around.

One of her favorite routes to use was the old #32 Wellston – it went from Northwest Plaza into downtown. Now you can most often find her riding the #174X Halls Ferry Express or MetroLink’s Red Line.
