🚆 A new MetroLink pilot is coming this fall.

Beginning October 3, Metro Transit will launch a Single-Car Pilot Program to explore how operating single-car MetroLink trains could improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Throughout the pilot, we’ll study operational performance, ridership ratios, and customer feedback to help inform future decisions.

Learn more about the pilot and what to expect at metrostlouis.org/metrolink-single-car-pilot
