I've never ridden a bus in St. Louis, so this is a review of a day's worth of experience using…read moreMetroLink, St. Louis's rather limited light-rail system. For my dad and my purposes, MetroLink was perfect. We were staying near the airport and had free shuttle access through our hotel, and we were in town to see a Dodger-Cardinal game. We rode the Red Line from Lambert Airport Terminal 2 Station to Stadium Station and back. I had no idea what to expect, but knowing that the system comprised only two lines (and that these two lines were the same for basically half the system), I thought it might be bad. In fact, I thought it might be really bad. The trains themselves are fairly clean, and although the seating could be a little bit more efficient, the huge windows really do make the experience more relaxing, especially in a crowded car like the one we rode back from the ballpark. But MetroLink has a secret that it keeps, and I have no idea why. When we came to St. Louis, the temperature was in the 90s, with humidity near 97 percent. (Yes, the baseball game was hot, but thankfully, we had covered seating.) Soon after finding seats in the train, we realized it was cooler inside than it had been outside. How was that possible? Then, two stops along, we heard a mechanical sound, and delicious freezing air came rushing into the car. This wasn't a fluke, as we experienced it on the ride back as well. MetroLink has the finest, most heat-destroying air conditioning that I have ever experienced on public transit, and I've spent a lot of time on public transit. So those two rides on the Red Line were blissfully comfortable, at least in terms of ambient temperature. Both trains had lots of really loud, obnoxious, doing-too-much teenagers; but I've grown to expect most of that on public transit. I never felt personally in danger, although there was a train-car argument that included six or seven teens of both sexes and on all parts of the train car yelling and cursing at and calling one another out. That beef eventually spilled out onto a platform at one of the stations, where a fistfight ensued, but once the beefants were off the train, everything was quiet and relaxed, and riders started making jokes about how random and sudden the argument had been.

East Riverfront may shorten my total travel time to/from St. Louis a bit, when I'm just trying to get to a game and avoid downtown parking. But, if I'm going to pay, then I'd rather get a little more of a ride. Often, there's a real live person to sell you a ticket. Otherwise, it's easy to use one of the automated ticket dispensers, $2.25 one way.

While public transportation is definitely not my favorite form (especially in the midwest -- it's…read moreso unreliable), the Fairview Heights metro wasn't terrible. It was clean, moderately efficient and no one bothered us. I say moderate because the Blue Line was down for maintenance and this put a sort of kink in our plans to get to St. Louis. Prices were the same as those others: $4.50 for a round trip ticket...although every time I use the metro, no one ever checks to see if I validated my ticket or even purchased one.

So when I needed to find a ride to and from a procedure at the hospital I searched online for Medical Transport and I found these folks. I am glad I did. They are friendly, prompt, professional, and reliable. The whole experience was a pleasure. I'm going to call them next time I need a ride to the airport; they do all kinds of transportation. They are more cost effective than another company I called, which was only doing wheelchair transport now, which I didn't need. If you know any good, reliable, drivers, send them to Transport-U. They are always looking to expand their services.
