The central corridor between St Louis and Kansas City is well served by
Greyhound
; the journey takes around six hours. Chicago and Memphis are both five hours from St Louis. Infrequent Greyhound buses run through the southeast, to Springfield and a few Ozark towns, but you'll need a car to see the mountains and the river towns in the north. St Louis (TWA's main hub) and Kansas City have major
airports
. Daily Amtrak
trains
from Chicago run to St Louis, from where direct connections can be made to Kansas City, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Little Rock. For keen cyclists, there's the popular
Katy Trail
, which stretches 230 miles from St Charles to Clinton.
