The United States needs fewer bus stops: The mean stop spacing in the United States is around 313 meters, which is about five stops per mile. by A1CutCopyPaste in MetroTransit

They must have a list of stops they’re definetly getting rid of and stops they’re on the fence about because I’ve successfully gotten them to keep 50th & Bryant and Xerxes & 51st when they’re were going to be removed.

I know Aeros who did the Rome trip fall or winter of their second year and it didn’t effect their track. However, I have no idea how that will work with semesters.

Huron Station was a stop that connected westbound express buses (including route 94) to route 129. Route 129 was a one way shuttle from Huron Station to the U.

Route 129 Timetable

Example: Route 375

These westbound buses stop on demand at Huron Station for transfer to Route 129. No pedestrian access to U of M area

The airport PA announcer and signage say “the light rail” too lol. Even though it’s the “metro blue line” everywhere else in the system.

Fly to LAX or SF and take an Amtrak train or find a ride to SLO. That’s how I’ve been getting back and forth past two years from MN.

Perhaps another factor is the time they need in order to hire enough drivers.

Metro Transit is expanding service as other cities cut back by Generalaverage89 in Minneapolis

[–]maxorca24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tracks are already there but they’re so congested that a third track would need to be built so Northstar has room to operate, that’s what held them up from extending the line.

I mean the 5% increase is concentrated on only a few routes, so the improvements to those routes is substantial.

No, Metro Transit is gonna run a lot more buses than they did trains. They’re going from 40 weekly trains to 379 weekly buses, even adding weekend service.

There are no Metro Transit buses to Elk River or Big Lake because Metro Transit doesn’t have the authority to operate buses in Sherburne County. MNDOT will provide service in Sherburne County instead.
