Metro Transit has announced that as of Friday, January 3, transit riders will begin using the newly installed security gates to access the MetroLink platform at the Delmar Loop MetroLink Station. Delmar Loop is the second station in Missouri to see the gates be implemented and put to use.
Metro Transit Public Safety staff will operate the gates manually until the gating system is integrated with an upcoming new fare collection system. Riders will show their valid pass or transit ticket to the staff member who will activate the gate allowing them through to the platform. Metro Transit encourages riders to allow extra time for their commutes while learning the new platform access process.
The installation of security gates and fencing are nearing completion at the remaining second phase stations: Forest Park-DeBaliviere, Central West End, Grand, Union Station and Civic Center.
