MetroLink is a light rail system that serves the Greater St. Louis area in the United States. The 46-mile (74.0 km) system has two lines and is operated by Metro Transit, an enterprise of the Bi-State Development Agency.
MetroLink currently has 38 stations; 13 are served only by the Red Line, nine only by the Blue Line, and the other 16 by both lines. Thirteen stations are located in the City of St. Louis; 14 in St. Louis County; and 11 in St. Clair County, Illinois. Central West End is the busiest station by daily ridership, Sunnen is the least busy.
The first 13.9-mile (22.4 km) segment opened on July 31, 1993 between the North Hanley and 5th & Missouri stations. The remainder of this initial 17-mile (27 km) alignment was completed on June 25, 1994 when the extension to Lambert Airport Main opened. Three infill stations have been added to this original alignment. East Riverfront in 1994, Lambert Airport East in 1998, and Cortex in 2018. The system has seen two major expansions. In 2001-03, St. Clair County extended the Red Line 20.9 miles (33.6 km) to the Shiloh-Scott station near Scott Air Force Base. In 2006, the 8-mile (12.9 km) Cross County Extension added Blue Line service between the Forest Park–DeBaliviere and Shrewsbury–Lansdowne I-44 stations via Clayton, Missouri.
A 5.2-mile (8.4 km) extension of the Red Line from Shiloh-Scott to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois broke ground in 2023 and is expected to be operational in early 2026. In Missouri, Metro and local leaders are advancing the Green Line, an expansion that would run between North and South St. Louis and connect to the Red and Blue lines with an infill transfer station.
