Give me some newspaper articles about those incidents you speak of.. I'm not too familiar with them, I guess.

I hear thugs will go to Chesterfield to seek out city data forum posters when Metrolink expands there.

I don't see long term parking being allowed at the North Hanley Station. Personally, we park at the airport at a lot behind the Mariott for about $10 a day, or on the roof of The Parking Spot. I would hate to have my car for 24 hours much less a week at any lot that didn't have activity 24 hours a day.

Our MetroLink Station List identifies which Stations have parking. Unless noted, all parking is free and you can park up to 24 hours. Free, long-term parking (up to fourteen days) is permitted in designated spaces on a first-come/first-served basis at the Shrewsbury, Brentwood I-64, 5th & Missouri, Emerson Park, Washington Park, Fairview Heights, Swansea, Belleville, College and Shiloh-Scott Stations. Long-term parking at the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 Station is along the west side of the lot. The Meridian Parking Facility at the Brentwood I-64 MetroLink Station is a mixed use facility. Floors five through 10 are free for Metro commuters on weekdays until 6 p.m. and on Saturday until 1 p.m. Floors two through ten are available to commuters after 6 p.m. on weekdays, after 1 p.m. on Saturday, and all day on Sunday. (Long-term parking is available on the upper level at the end farthest away from the MetroLink platform in specially-signed spaces.)

Um, have you been on many public transit systems? Seriously. Metrolink is absolutely pristine compared to most light rail systems I've been on and I have traveled on quite a few.

Ride shuttle to terminal.
Done.

When they put in the light rail system in Fairview Heights/Shiloh, Illinois, fires consumed the city. Homes and businesses were looted. Innocent civilians were burned alive and had their throats cut. People were walking around kicking kittens and puppies, and shooting kids' kites out of the sky.

By the way, anyone reading this, it was a joke

And I too have heard that the Metrolink is pristine compared to *most* cities public trans.

The casino Queen idea sounded pretty good. I had a jacket swiped out of my car there once, but consider that to be my fault because I hadn't locked my doors...duhhhh!

I'd say it compares favorably with the Metra rail system in Chicago (not to be confused with the El system, which is in need of some work) & MARTA (in ATL).
