Rock Road is a
St. Louis MetroLink
MetroLink is the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan mass transit system serving Missouri and the Metro East area of Illinois. The system consists of two rail lines (Red Line and Blue Line) connecting St. Louis Lambert International Airport and ...
station. It is primarily a
MetroBus transfer and commuter station featuring 191
park and ride spaces located near 70th Street in
Pagedale, Missouri. The station's name comes from nearby
St. Charles Rock Road, an important east–west artery in
St. Louis County.
In 2010, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work ''Honey, Where’s my Metro Pass?'' by Nick Lang and Thad Duhigg for installation at this station. Some of Lang's students visited the Rock Road location and noted the common objects used by commuters. After documenting these visits, the students created maquettes that laid the groundwork for the sculpture. The artists expanded on the students’ ideas and fabricated this sculpture, which depicts the contents of an average Metro rider’s pockets at a very large scale.
