Anybody here from St. Louis?
I need to figure out a way to get from downtown St. Louis out to St.
Charles. The metrolink stops at the airport, so I am looking for the proper bus route. I went on the bus website, but the street names don't mean anything to me. Can someone help with the bus route? thanks, Pat in TX |

Can someone help with the bus route? thanks, Pat in TX The bus lines do not cross the Missouri river to St. Charles, MO. http://www.metrostlouis.org/MetroBus/SystemMap.asp click on Missouri System Map. The orange route goes past the airport, on I70, into Earth City on the east side of the Missour river (blue), then back on MO370. St. Charles is on the other side of the river, you have to take the I70 or MO370 bridge across. So you will need to take a shuttle or cab from the airport. If you are on bicycle, you can swing further south and take the bike trail along side the Page Ave bridge over the Missouri. MO370 allows bicycle shoulder access, but you are right up against 80mph traffic without barriers. http://www.stlbikefed.org/RoadsTrail...6/Default.aspx http://mobikefed.org/momaps.php |

I guess that explains why the woman who runs the shuttle at the B&B in St. Charles wants me to go to Kirkwood for pickup. I could take the train to Kirkwood, but it leaves at 4 p.m. and I thought a bus would be a quicker, cheaper way. Maybe I could get a bus to Kirkwood? Pat in TX |

Pat in TX Further south from Page Ave is the US40 I64 crossing then the MO47 crossing in Washington MO. Is that where the B&B is? Kirkwood is to the southwest of downtown, NE of I270 & I44. Kirkwood Commons (Target/Wal-Mart/Lowes) is just north of I44 on Linburgh with bus routes 11 / (49) / 59 passing in front. The Amtrak / Bus stop location is shown as opening April 2008 near the main Metro bus stop, 11 / 59 are here, not bus 49. Looks like 59 zig zags through the west side, then down to Kirkwood, 11 goes south to the Brewery then heads west to Kirkwood, less congested. |

Further south from Page Ave is the US40 I64 crossing then the MO47 crossing in Washington MO. Is that where the B&B is? Bed & Breakfast 1309 N. Fifth St. St. Charles Mo. 63301 That's where the B&B is. Thanks for your help. I like to try and plan these things in advance. Riding the Amtrak seems to be a fun idea, but it sure is turning out to be a pain in the butt in other things. As I go along with this planning, a little voice keeps saying "Just drive the car up there!" Pat in TX |

Pat in TX Bus 32 goes from downtown North on 14th, East on Market, South on Tucker, East on Clark, North on 9th, West on Cass / MLK / St Charles Rock Road to Earth city, right across the river from St Charles. Just West of I270 is an Olive Garden at 3552 Pennridge Dr, Bridgeton, MO 63044 (314) 739-1274, the remainder of the route is office / warehouse / light manufacturing businesses. Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...TF8& t=h&z=11 The maps below are the two options for last 6 mile leg of the trip. I70 is 0.3 miles shorter and busier. MO370 is viable by bicycle. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...=UTF8&t=h&z=13 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...60675&t=h&z=13 |
