Free Public Transportation with U-Pass (Lightrail and Bus)

If you are a registered full-time student of Washington University or Washington University School of Medicine, the university provides a U-Pass. There is no charge for the U-Pass. The U-Pass allows access to the MetroBus and MetroLink system; however, you must show a valid Washington University ID in conjunction with a valid U-Pass to ride free. The Danforth Campus, West Campus, North Campus and Medical Campus all have MetroLink stations. The Medical Campus also has the Central West End MetroBus hub.
