It is pretty cheap ($4.50 for 6 hours per person)! It is very punctual as well. It has two lines: blue & green! Two of the exits are perfect for customers staying at the Marriott at the Mall of America as they are terminals for the Minnesota/St. Paul International Airport.

Rode the T Metro Train in Minneapolis for the 1st time on Saturday June 11th, as a friend and I…read morewere in town for a baseball game at Target Field. We parked at Mall of America, found a kiosk very easy, bought a 6-hour pass for the Blue Line to Target Field, and waited for the train. Trains and markings were easy to see and, it was hard not to miss other Twins fans milling around in the area waiting like we were. Took the train about 35 minutes or so to make it in to town and drop us off at Target Field, but we didn't have to look for a place to park, and pay a high price for parking. So, we were both very happy. You couldn't beat the price for the 6-hour pass for seniors ($2.00) and we got a nice ride back to the Mall with our drop off about 100 yards from the car. How sweet is that? Now ... if only the Rays would have won!

Usually it's very clean, and there are several lockers to lock up your bicycles. There are only two downsides to this location. First, and you have this anywhere, are the disrespectful people who litter and smokers. There are some smokers who stand far away, and I appreciate that. The ones who choose to ignore the signs in the shelters and stand close by are the ones that annoy me. I'm aware of who I am next to when I overeat, so please be kind with your second-hand smoke. The other downside, and this will change, is that there's no coffee shop or convenience store station-side. There are empty spots for businesses in the apartment building, but as of yet, no stores. You have to play Frogger to get across the street to Walgreen's, Holiday, or Burger King. The lights are timed poorly due to the trains and vehicle traffic, so you will either miss your connection or take your own life in your hands crossing the street at certain times of the day. Now if only I could explain why I found a roll of toilet paper at this station.

The $4 all day ticket saved me $240, before tax & I had the added bonus of cardio! It's also incredibly easy to use. This particular station is clean, with great signage & clear maps, pricing, kiosks. One direction goes from T1 to T2 (free), then to Mall of America, the last stops on the blue line going that direction & connecting to the red line,I believe. We went the opposite way, towards Target Field, the last stops on the blue line for downtown & connecting to the green line. Our stop was government station, -10min walk to our hotel with a -15min walk to our event. I'll be doing this more often, when the weather is feeling cooperative! Follow the signs in T1 towards T2 & the lightrail. Take the tram & follow the signs again (there's an elsalator down). If heading only to T2, no ticket required. If going to Mall of America or to downtown, you can get your tickets (several options) from the kiosks. Trams run a outliers 10-15min. Easy Peasy!

I had to go to downtown St Paul so I took a bus from the Metro Transit Terminal which is on level 2, gold ramp. There is an indoor waiting area where you can see the bus coming and there is a board inside with real time updates for the bus (Route 54 serves the airport). You can download the Metro Transit app to purchase fares ahead of time or pay on the bus, but the app makes it easy. You just activate your ticket and show it to the driver and off you go. I made it to downtown St Paul in a half hour. Coming back on a Sunday morning, it only took me 20 minutes to get from downtown St Paul to the airport. It is easy to enter the bus lobby, go up the escalator and go right into the terminal. It is a quick and easy way (and cheap too) to downtown St. Paul. One note, the bus I took going to the city didn't have any room for bags but the other bus was more roomy.
