METRO Blue Line
The METRO Blue Line runs from downtown Minneapolis to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America.
Light-rail fares are the same as Metro Transit bus fares (drivers do not carry change). Trains do not have fare boxes. Riders must pay before boarding.
U-Pass and Metropass holders must touch their pass to the Go-To reader adjacent to the ticket machine at the rail station. Be prepared to show your pass and (student) ID to the fare inspector if asked.
Transfers are valid between bus and rail if used within 2½ hours. Express or rush hour charges may be applicable and must be paid in cash.
