Metro Transit’s Big Fare Upgrade | St. Louis News

Metro Transit’s big fare overhaul kicks off Monday with 13 new stations featuring ticket machines and security gates — no more sneaking through without a valid ticket. The $23 million upgrade replaces the old Gateway Card with rechargeable Ride On cards (or single-day passes) and requires scanning for entry. While the Transit app still works for mobile tickets, a new Ride On app is now for buying passes. Fare capping ensures you won’t pay more than a weekly pass, even if you ride often. Old paper tickets still work — for now — but staff must validate them at new gates. Those machines vanish by August, and credit card tapping may come later. Be ready to scan every time you enter — it’s the new normal.
