MetroLink operates as a light rail transit system catering to the Greater St. Louis region. Managed by Metro Transit, which is a division of the Bi-State Development Agency, the system comprises two lines encompassing 38 stations. Of these, 13 stations are exclusively served by the Red Line, nine are dedicated solely to the Blue Line, and 16 stations accommodate both lines. These stops are located throughout the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, and St. Clair County, Illinois. The station with the highest passenger volume is Central West End, whereas Sunnen records the fewest riders.

The system’s first segment began service on July 31, 1993, connecting North Hanley to 5th & Missouri. The initial full route was finalized by June 1994 with an extension reaching Lambert Airport Main. Since then, three additional infill stations have been incorporated: East Riverfront in 1994, Lambert Airport East in 1998, and Cortex in 2018.

Significant expansions include a Red Line extension completed between 2001 and 2003, which extended service to Shiloh-Scott near Scott Air Force Base. Another notable addition is the Cross County Extension introduced in 2006, which extended Blue Line service from Forest Park–DeBaliviere to Shrewsbury–Lansdowne I-44, passing through Clayton, Missouri.

Currently underway is a Red Line expansion from Shiloh-Scott to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport located in Mascoutah, Illinois; construction started in 2023 with an anticipated operational launch in early 2026. Meanwhile, plans for a new Green Line within Missouri are progressing. This proposed line aims to link North and South St. Louis and would connect with existing routes via a newly established transfer station.
