    Beginning June 22, riders can purchase fares for St. Louis Metro Transit via their mobile device.

    The new mobile fare system will be integrated with Transit app, which passengers are already using to plan their St. Louis Metro ride and get real-time bus locations. This added feature will make it easier for riders to plan their trip, track their ride and pay their fare, all in one place.

    Customers will be able to purchase three types of tickets in the Transit app:

    • MetroBus One-Ride: full fare is $1.00* and reduced fare is $0.50*
    • MetroLink One-Ride: full fare is $2.50 and reduced fare is $1.25
    • Two-Hour Pass: full fare is $3.00 and reduced fare is $1.50

    *These fares are reduced due to the temporary suspension of paper transfers

    All mobile passes will be visually validated by operators from a safe distance. There will be no service fees for purchasing fares through mobile, and riders can keep passes in a wallet inside the app to use when they’re ready to ride.

    The mobile app’s contactless fare option is part of St. Louis Metro’s continued commitment to keeping passengers and team members safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
