RIDER ALERT: Due to a recall on a portion of our Via Metro STL fleet, we are operating this week with fewer vehicles than usual. Via customers may experience service delays for a period of time while these vehicles are being checked.

We recommend planning ahead if you have time-sensitive appointments. We are working hard with the Via team to bring in temporary vehicles and return service to normal as quickly as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and will let you know when full service is up and running. We take your safety seriously, and appreciate your understanding.
