The smartest new way to get around.

Metro Transit is launching a new on-demand transit service with Via to provide an affordable and convenient way to get around parts of South and North St. Louis County.

Called Via Metro STL, this new service allows transit riders to hail a vehicle directly from their smartphone using the Via app, and travel to any location within the service area during operating hours.

Riders are not restricted to having trips 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 service areas shown 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.
