If you're coming from the Airport and looking to transfer to the Shrewsbury line, this is your transfer spot. The station features an island platform with the tracks on the outside. The doors to the train will open on the left. There are ticket kiosks here so that you can purchase before boarding. As it is below grade, you'll be out of the wind and there is cover over most of the platform. Watch your step. It is between Central West End (towards the city) and Delmar Loop (on the Red Line) or Skinker (on the Blue Line). [Review 1740 of 2024 - 376 in Missouri - 22763 overall]

One of the few stations where both the Blue and Red lines share tracks, Central West End offers a…read moresmooth transfer point for riders navigating St. Louis's MetroLink system. Located in the heart of the city's medical corridor, it serves as a practical gateway to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University Medical Center, and the lively Central West End neighborhood. Central West End is between Cortex (heading east into downtown) and Forest Park / DeBaliviere heading west. The station's layout is straightforward and functional, with clear signage and covered platforms that help riders stay oriented even during busy hours. It is an island platform with the tracks on each side. Elevators and ramps provide step-free access, although some of the older infrastructure could use a refresh. Thanks to its proximity to major institutions, the station is generally safe and well-patrolled, with a steady flow of commuters, students, and hospital staff contributing to its active atmosphere. What makes Central West End stand out is how well it connects to the surrounding area. Just beyond the platform, you'll find tree-lined streets, cafés, and historic buildings that invite exploration. Whether you're heading to a medical appointment or grabbing lunch nearby, the station is a reliable and well-placed hub. It may not be flashy, but it gets the job done. In a city where transit options are limited, that reliability matters. [Review 1166 of 2025 - 432 in Missouri - 24719 overall]

The Metro will deliver you to the Third Base gate of Busch. The Metro travels across two states, I really like it, as a visitor, you can also get to the airport. Buying tickets is a little confusing the first time, and then after buying the tickets no one actually checked them and they weren't needed in either direction but I do like to support public transportation and it's much cheaper than Uber.

I didn't want to deal with finding parking for a 10 foot tall van in downtown so I opted to take the train into the city. This was super easy. Big parking lot with plenty of room (I guess downtown still hasn't recovered from COVID and remote work), I found a spot where there was plenty of eyes so I could worry a little less. I bought round trip tickets from the vending machine which popped out both. I validated one and saved the other for later. On the platform, the train was waiting and a few minutes after I boarded, it started the journey. Plenty of seating on board at 7:45 am though there was one annoying dude playing rap music without headphones. No one else said anything, so I just let it be.

A center-island platform with exits at both ends, the track is exposed to the air but is below the street level. That means you'll still get rained on but at least the wind would be minimal. At the one entrance I utilized, they have placed two of the ticket vending kiosks. There is an elevator at this end and it was definitely a wet floor. Sad. The station is not staffed. There is an overhead display with the current time but it did not have any indicator of the time until the next train. Union Station is between Grand (westbound) and Civic Center (eastbound). It is on the part of the Metrolink that serves both the blue and red lines. [Review 14431 overall, 1757 of 2020, number 65 in Missouri.]

This location is located 1 block from the Drury-Union Station and is only $4 from the airport, and $2.50 to the airport as opposed to a coat of $40-50 each way by taxi. Trains come every 10 mins peak time and every 20 min off peak, so plan accordingly. There seems to be a security guard stationed here every time I go, so take that for what it's worth.

Laclede's Landing station sits just beneath the historic Eads Bridge, which opened in 1874 as a…read morepioneering feat of engineering--one of the first major bridges to use steel and the first to employ pneumatic caissons for its deep foundations. While the bridge remains a marvel, its shadowy understructure makes the station feel a bit dim and enclosed compared to more open-air stops. The station itself is above ground but tucked under the bridge's arches, which gives it a unique but somewhat claustrophobic atmosphere. Metrolink has done a decent job retrofitting the space with stairs and an elevator, making it functional if not especially inviting. It's clear this wasn't originally designed for modern transit, but the adaptation is serviceable. Westbound trains head to Convention Center, while eastbound service crosses the Mississippi River into Illinois, stopping next at East Riverfront. I only passed through briefly and didn't linger. There's not much here in terms of amenities or comfort. It works fine as a transit point, but I wouldn't plan to spend time here unless you're transferring quickly or heading to the Arch.

At the entrance to the platform, there are ticket vending booths. There is an overhead indicator of the current time but it does not indicate how long until the next train is due to arrive. If there was an audible announcement, I didn't hear it. There are a few benches to keep you out of the wind but if it's raining or snowing, you will get covered. The station is on the Blue Line between Maplewood-Manchester (westbound, toward Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44) and Richmond Heights (eastbound, toward Fairview Heights).
