caption_attribution_description: Loop Trolley stop on Delmar Blvd. at Limit Avenue. This is the westbound "City Limit" stop, in University City, Missouri, in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
context_page_description: The Loop Trolley was a 2.2-mile, 10-station heritage streetcar line in St. Louis, Missouri. It operated from November 2018 to December 2019. As of December 2019, the Bi-State Development Agency, a regional transit operator, was seeking ways to restart operations.
  Opened in November 2018, the Loop Trolley connected the Delmar Loop district and the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park, serving parts of University City and the St. Louis neighborhoods of DeBaliviere Place, Skinker/DeBaliviere, and the West End. It also served two MetroLink light-rail stations: Delmar Loop and Forest Park–DeBaliviere.
  At its closing, the line operated from noon until 6 p.m. on Thursdays through Sundays. Passengers were carried on two replica-historic streetcars.
  The Loop Trolley Transportation Development District owns the line and trolley cars, which were operated by the non-profit Loop Trolley Company. Operating funds came from a one-cent sales tax collected by businesses along and near the line, and from fares and advertising.
  Ridership was far lower than expected, and the trolley ceased operations on December 29, 2019.
context_section_description: The line starts at the Missouri History Museum and runs north on DeBaliviere Avenue in St. Louis, past the Forest Park–DeBaliviere MetroLink station. It then turns west on Delmar Boulevard to the Delmar Loop MetroLink station and crosses the St. Louis city/county boundary to University City to serve the Delmar Loop district, terminating at the University City Library on Delmar Boulevard, west of Kingsland Avenue.
  In the second half of 2019, service was provided four days a week, from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday and Sunday, and noon to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Service was is expected to expand to more hours, and seven days a week after the third trolley arrived.
