Transit is the answer if you need a ride that’s affordable, reliable, and convenient. We are, after all, the original rideshare service in the Twin Cities.
We’re here to take people where they need to go. Our trained, professional operators are ready to take you out and about, whether that’s to a Twins game, to visit a friend, to the airport, or to get to a medical appointment or shopping. Learn how to ride.
Metro Transit is the affordable choice
During most of the day, light rail and most bus rides cost just $2, or even less for eligible customers. Our “surge” pricing – for express buses and during rush hours – is only $1.25 more. And that includes 2½ hours of unlimited rides. Learn how little it costs.
You can pay through our app (no tip required).
