In July, St. Louis’ Metro posted is highest-ever monthly ridership at 2.3 million passengers, marking the fourth-consecutive month light-rail ridership has exceeded 2 million. The agency carried 600,000 more MetroLink riders compared with July 2006.
Metro officials attribute the record to the eight-mile Cross County MetroLink extension, which opened last fall and has exceeded ridership projections. The agency estimated the line would attract 18,900 additional riders by 2025; last month, that figure exceeded 27,000 passengers.
