In September, St. Louis’ Metro carried more than 2 million passengers on its light-rail and bus system, up half a million compared with September 2005.
The agency attributes the 31.3 percent ridership increase to the Cross County MetroLink extension, which opened in late August. The eight-mile, nine-station line connects St. Louis, University City, Clayton, Richmond Heights, Brentwood, Maplewood and Shrewsbury, Mo. The line serves the St. Louis County Government Center and several business districts and retail centers, which employ about 30,000 people.
