Good afternoon, St. Louis. July is going to be busy for Metro Transit. Fair Saint Louis kicks off its three-day celebration tomorrow. We’ll have extra staff out on the system to help you get to all the fun and festivities happening downtown. Later in the month, we plan to release the final draft of Metro Reimagined and introduce a new MetroBus service plan. In the meantime, let’s get to your transit questions. What’s on your mind? -

Tanner, so far the Metro Mobile pilot is running smoothly. In fact, more than 11,000 mobile tickets were purchased during the Stanley Cup parade and rally alone. Overall, we’ve received positive feedback about how easy and convenient this option is. As reminder, we’re offering Metro Mobile for Fair Saint Louis. Riders can purchase a one day pass or a three-day Fair Saint Louis pass. Outside of Fair Saint Louis, riders can download tickets to St. Louis Cardinals home games and for the Forest Park Explorer. We’ll continue to monitor feedback and evaluate how this type of technology fits with our other fare options.

Metro, we’re glad you find the maps helpful. Under the Metro Reimagined plan, we plan to expand MetroBus express route service from five to six routes. A new express route will operate from the North County Transit Center to the North Hanley Transit Center every weekday with 30 minute frequencies. As we mentioned, we plan to release the final draft of Metro Reimagined sometime later this month. Stay tuned.
