Construction at the UMSL South station will lengthen some commutes on Metro this weekend by 20-25 minutes.

MetroLink trains will run on a single track between the Wellston and North Hanley stations on Friday, causing 5-10 minute delays on the Red Line.

On Saturday and Sunday, trains will not run at all between those two stations. Eastbound travelers will board buses at the North Hanley stop to be transported to the UMSL North and South, Rock Road and Wellston stations. Westbound MetroLink passengers will board the bus bridge at the Wellston station. The same bus bridge will be in effect on June 2 and 3 as well. Metro says passengers should allow an extra 20-25 minutes.

The St. Louis MetroLink will not operate trains between the Stadium and the 5th & Missouri MetroLink stations on Sunday morning because of work on the overhead wires.

Bus shuttles will transport passengers every 20 minutes to the stations located between the Stadium and 5th & Missouri MetroLink stations on Sunday until noon, with regular services resuming at noon on Sunday. Stations affected are the 8th & Pine, Convention Center, Arch-Laclede's Landing and East Riverfront stations.

Metro is advising customers traveling between Missouri and Illinois to allow an extra 20 to 30 minutes for their commutes on Sunday morning.

Residents can weigh in starting today on proposed fare increases for mass transit in St. Louis. The Metro transit agency is considering three options for raising fares this year – one would increase only the costs of weekly, monthly and university semester passes; the second would raise the cost of all passes except day passes; and the third would spread the increase to all fares, including buses and Metrolink.
