Getting Around in St. Louis
Metro Link: http://www.metrostlouis.org/
The Metro Link train travels between the airport and downtown St. Louis and the conference site. The trip takes at least an hour to and from downtown and the airport. Remember that thousands of people are arriving and departing St. Louis at the same time, so give yourself plenty of time to ride the train together!
- The train fare is $3.75 per trip. You need to choose the ‘Metro Two-Hour Pass’. You can purchase a ticket either:
- At the airport. You will need to pay with US cash at the airport.
- Online before you arrive, but you will need to allow at least 10 business days for the tickets to be mailed prior to travel to Urbana.
- The Metro Link will be on a holiday schedule for January 1st, 2010, so please plan your departure accordingly.
