Transportation When You Need It

Metro Transit has partnered with Via to offer a new affordable, convenient transportation option to get around parts of West, South, and North St. Louis County: welcome to Via Metro STL!

Via Metro STL lets you hail a vehicle directly from your smartphone using the Via app, and travel to any location within the service zone during operating hours.

Riders are not restricted to having trips that connect to Metro Transit – you can use the Via Metro STL service to get from your home directly to the grocery store, or anywhere else in the relevant service area (see map below). Via Metro STL is a shared-ride service, and Via’s advanced technology seamlessly matches passengers headed in the same direction to provide quick and efficient trips, without lengthy detours or inconvenient schedules.

Via Metro STL is now available on Transit, the official app of Metro Transit. When you enter a destination in Transit, it will suggest trip plans that feature Via Metro STL service, either for point-to-point trips or in combination with MetroLink and MetroBus options.

Book a ride using the Via app or call 636.251.3328.
