College Transit
Challenge
The St. Louis region offers a safe, integrated public transportation system, providing students and staff at colleges and universities with a convenient means to get to and from campus, work, doctor appointments, grocery stores, area attractions and nightlife. The Metro U-Pass makes transit super affordable as it provides unlimited rides on MetroBus and MetroLink – and the school pays for all or part of the pass.
Don’t take our word for it. Try it out.
