MCT Muny Express Returns for 2026 Season

PONTOON BEACH - Madison County Transit (MCT) is once again making it easy for residents to enjoy a night at The Muny in Forest Park without the hassle of driving and parking in St. Louis. The MCT Muny Express will provide evening service to all Saturday night Muny performances during the 2026 season.

The MCT Muny Express offers convenient transportation from select Madison County locations to The Muny, with buses arriving approximately 30 minutes before showtime and dropping passengers off directly in front of The Muny. Return trips depart from the same location 20 minutes after the show.

“The Muny in Forest Park is one of our region’s greatest summertime traditions, and the MCT Muny Express is the best way to get there,” said SJ Morrison, Managing Director of MCT. “Riders can leave the driving to MCT, avoid the traffic and parking, and simply enjoy the show.”

• Hairspray - Saturday, June 20
• Shrek the Musical - Saturday, June 27
• South Pacific - Saturday, July 11
• Disney’s Newsies - Saturday, July 18
