metrolink monday 🥳🥳🥳

This was the first transit system I ever rode when I was little as it was the closest city that had and semblance of a metro system, although it is still about 5 hours away from my house! So cool to see you guys ride it. Brings back a lot of memories of trips to STL!

it's unfortunate that you didn't get to ride an articulated bus on 70!

I kid you not, I just went down a rabbit hole of the St Louis Metrolink today and was looking for a MIT-esque video showing it off

Hey cool! My hometown! Lambert is a crazy quilt airport. The current Terminal 1 was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, who would go on to design JFK airport and the original World Trade Center towers. As TWA consolidated operations there as one of its main hubs, the airport added more and more capacity, eventually building Terminal 2. That demand dried up as American bought TWA and moved its hub operations elsewhere in the early 2000's. In the meantime, Southwest began adding flights to Terminal 2, eventually making it one of its regional hubs. So now you have the odd situation where Terminal 1 is underutilized while Terminal 2 is at capacity. A plan is underway to consolidate the two terminals back into one large terminal, with construction anticipated in 2-3 years. Anyway, I digress. Welcome to the Lou!

Hey look, its the video about the system on my channel that somehow became a meme

Miles, I just wanted to say I always appreciate your videos and in particular your coverage of the many different transit systems in the USA, from spectacular to unknown to anywhere in between (Metrolink fits somewhere in that middle). Far too often online and in real life (and even otherwise socially conscious people!) I see discussion about how the US has “no public transit” or that what does exist is “unusable,” when I feel like just a lot of people aren’t aware of what’s around them and have never/would never give it a shot. I feel like “Transit YouTube” gives so much coverage and discussion of European, Asian, and a well-known handful of North American systems, but very little to smaller to mid size US city or rural transit. Keep doing what you’re doing, please, as I feel like it’s super important that we change this culture in the US and let people know that transit in the US isn’t horrible or unusable - it can actually be pretty darn great.

Fun video, and very informational.

That is not of course to say that transit couldn’t be way better in much of the US, but I appreciate some positive coverage (with accompanied constructive criticism) for once!

Did you ever come across any fare inspectors checking POP?

Knowing firsthand how bad that parking garage trek is added to my personal sense of drama/dread at the end

STL Metrolink is underappreciated. It's decent, has reasonable frequency in the system core, and connects many important destinations including both major hospital complexes and all three major sports venues. It's one of the things I miss about St Louis (the other being Ted Drewes).

Thank you for the lovely comment, I really appreciate it! Glad to shed a light on the lesser-known US systems!

I hubbed in and out of STL on TWA many years ago. I recently found the old red carbon paper ticket and my Frequent Flight membership cards too. Best part was seeing the Arch from the air.

A few times in this video I thought if Jordan was there he would have said "who says that?"
