·         Getting to Downtown St. Louis from Lambert Airport:

 

Taxis are readily available at the airport, outside of both the main and east terminals. The trip to downtown St. Louis takes approximately 20-30 minutes and costs approximately $35.

MetroLink, St. Louis’ light-rail system, connects the main and east terminals of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport to the downtown area. The total travel time from the airport is approximately 30 minutes, and the train runs every 10 to 30 minutes, depending upon the time of day. Call 314-231-2345 for detailed schedule information and current ticket prices, or visit www.metrostlouis.org. If you take the train, disembark at the Convention Center Station, located on the corner of Washington Avenue and Sixth Street. Walk one block south on Sixth Street to Locust Street. Turn left (east), and continue one block to Broadway. The Bank is located at the intersection of Broadway and Locust. The total distance is .2 miles. (Because of the distance from the station to the Bank, this option is not recommended for people with several suitcases, heavy luggage or physical limitations. )
