List Of St. Louis Metro Link Stations
MetroLink is a light rail transit system serving the Greater St. Louis area. The system is operated by the Bi-State Development Agency, which since 2003 is doing business as Metro. Serving over 67,000 passengers a day, MetroLink is one of the largest light rail systems in the United States in terms of ridership.
MetroLink began service on July 31, 1993 with the opening of the Red Line segment from North Hanley to 5th & Missouri. An extension to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport was opened a year later. Since then, the system has had two major expansions. The first expansion, known as the St. Clair County Extension, was completed on May 5, 2001 with the extension of the Red Line to Belleville, Illinois and two years later to Scott Air Force Base. The second major expansion, known as the Cross County Extension, was completed on August 26, 2006 with the addition of the Blue Line from the Forest Park-DeBaliviere station to the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 station via Clayton, Missouri.
The system currently has 37 stations, of which 28 stations are served by the Red Line and 24 stations are served by the Blue Line. There are 15 stations that are served by both lines. The city of St. Louis and St. Louis County in Missouri have 12 and 14 stations, respectively, with the remaining 11 stations located in St. Clair County, Illinois. In terms of daily ridership, Central West End is the most heavily used station, while Sunnen is the least.
