With thousands of fairgoers expected in downtown St. Louis on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, for Celebrate St. Louis, MetroLink is available for area residents headed downtown on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, for Celebrate St. Louis.
Metro is recommending visitors use the Laclede’s Landing MetroLink Station for Celebrate St. Louis, as it is located directly next to all the 4th of July action at Gateway Arch National Park.
With 21 free Park-Ride lots holding more than 10,000 parking spots at MetroLink stations in Missouri and Illinois, Metro’s goal is to “always be the best choice for anyone traveling to major events in the region,” according to a release.
Fairgoers are encouraged to download the Transit app to easily plan their Metro trip to the celebration and avoid lines by purchasing a $5 Day Pass on their mobile device, good for round-trip travel to and from all the festivities downtown.
Metro will have extra public safety personnel, transit personnel and employee ambassadors on the transit system on July 3-4 to assist riders. Extra MetroLink trains will be available if needed to help get everyone home after the fireworks. Customers are also advised to check the weekend MetroLink schedule in advance for departure times, as the last trains leave downtown around midnight.
Visit MetroStLouis.org for additional information. Contact Metro Transit Information if you need assistance, available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at (314) 231-2345 (phone) and (314) 207-9786.
