loop trolley — Local services in St. Louis

Yesterday (6/7/25) I put on an event for 20+ people to ride the Loop Trolley, and I was very dissatisfied with our experience. We followed the schedule exactly, and the trolley only showed up for 2 of 6 of the scheduled arrivals.

We were outside the History Museum waiting to board at 11:40, boarded the trolley at 11:45, but by 11:50 the trolley operator told us that after the tornado, she didn't want to take a chance and run the trolley in the rain. It was barely sprinkling outside. So she told us all to get off the trolley. An hour later when I checked to see if the trolley was running again, the trolley was gone, so she must have driven it back to the station. After another hour and another trolley no-show, I called the Loop Trolley number to ask if the trolley would be running, and it told me the number was out of service.

The trolley was running at 2:50, so we boarded it and it took us to the University City Public Library, but it didn't come back to pick us up-- so we took the MetroLink back. As we were walking back to the History Museum we saw the trolley running again.

So: noon-- sprinkling outside -- we got on the trolley and they kicked us off 1 PM-- sprinkling outside -- no trolley 2 PM -- clear weather -- no trolley 3 PM-- clear weather -- we took the trolley 4 PM-- going home from the U City Library -- no trolley 5 PM-- getting off the metrolink-- trolley

If it is a new policy that the trolley does not run in the rain, even when it's barely sprinkling outside-- there needs to be better communication about that. Throughout the day I saw many disappointed passengers standing around waiting and had to tell them what they told me earlier about the trolley not running in the rain, even if it was not actually raining and had sprinkled for a few minutes between...

Having grown-up with both Streetcars back East and Cable Cars in San Francisco, I was pleasantly surprised with the aesthetics, ride and friendliness of the conductors and the Trolley maintenance personnel. Well worth the park at History Museum and Trolley ride. The Trolley is here. Embrace it as we have accepted many of our recognized landmarks in the area. I have not seen congestion even on Saturday when the temperature was in the 60's and the Loop was packed and the Trolley was free. It can never hurt bringing visitors to the St. Louis and...

Wow! Beautiful!! Free!!!! I failed to grab a picture of the sign but at each of the stops on the loop they have the times posted. They do not run everyday so please go to the website to check if it’s running. It was so clean and beautiful and the driver was soooo sweet! We asked lots of questions and he was full of j formation! Although the trolley is new to the street it is a beautiful old trolley that was redone beautifully! We just rode it bc my 2 year old LOVES trains lol and it was the best 2 mile...
