Show Me: Innovation in Urban Transportation

The MetroLink light-rail system connects four counties and two states, as well as thousands of people across the St. Louis region. Stretching out from a city best know for its rugged determination and enterprising spirit, the Metro-Link is filled with the same flair for adventure and pedigree of accomplishment. Much of the lofty expressions of the city through its Gateway Arch or Charles Lindberg’s famous Spirit of St. Louis, MetroLink melds dependable service with unique attributes that have led it to become a critical element of the region’s transportation network. This article describes how this innovative operation is changing the face of public transportation in the Gateway City.
