A winter storm has brought snow, gusting winds and dangerous low temperatures to the St. Louis region, with extreme cold forecasted through Saturday, December 24.

We will provide updates on this page if there are any changes to Metro Transit service due to the winter weather. We encourage all riders who must travel to check this page for updates on MetroLink, MetroBus and Metro Call‑A‑Ride service before starting their commute. Customers should expect delays and dress for being outside in the extreme cold temperatures and plan accordingly.

MetroLink

12/25 | MetroLink is operating on schedule without any weather-related delays.

As temperatures continue to fall, riders are encouraged to dress in warm, weather-appropriate clothing and use the platform heaters to help stay warm while waiting for their train.

Note: On Saturday and Sunday, MetroLink will operate single-car trains. Customers will need to board and exit the single-car train at the end of the platform where the operator cabin is located.

MetroBus

12/25 | MetroBus is operating on schedule without any weather-related delays.

All MetroBus riders will need to use the rear door when boarding and exiting their bus, unless the wheelchair access at the front is needed, to help retain heat on the buses during these extreme cold temperatures. MetroBus riders are encouraged to plan ahead, dress warm and allow extra time for their commutes. To minimize waiting times at bus stops, riders are also encouraged to use the Transit app to check on the real-time status and location of their bus.

Metro Call‑A‑Ride

12/25 | Metro Call‑A‑Ride will contact passengers directly if their trip may be affected or delayed.

To check on the status of a Metro Call‑A‑Ride trip, please contact Customer Service at 314.289.5230.
