Reduced Fare Programs

Senior Reduced Fare Permits
A Senior Reduced Fare Permit allows seniors (age 65 and older) to ride MetroBus and MetroLink for half price. Obtaining your permit is easy and free – you can apply in person at MetroStore or you may contact the Transit Access Center to apply by mail or electronically. MetroStore is located in downtown St. Louis at the corner of 8th & Pine St. (801 Pine Street) above the MetroLink station.
Permits are issued during normal MetroStore hours. Bring a government-issued picture identification card verifying your age (age 65 and older). Acceptable forms of identification include a state vehicle driver’s license, state ID, passport or alien registration card. For more information, call MetroStore at 314-982-1495.
To apply by mail or electronically, please call 314-982-1510 or email [email protected].
