It is an underground station (69 feet down), protected from the elements but still quite chilly on a cold day. The great thing about it is that it is very close to the exits of Terminal 1 airside, with clear signs to get there, not difficult to walk and easy to take escalators down. It opened in 2004, as part of the expansion of the Blue Line. It uses one platform, with one side going north and the other south. I understand due to existing limitations why other airports can't do this so conveniently, but in my opinion, this is the gold standard for how a modern airport should connect its passengers with mass transit. My wife and I took the train to downtown Minneapolis. Some things to notice: - no gates, making it easy to enter with baggage - train seems to run every 10 minutes - it took 20 minutes to get to the U.S. Bank Stadium station. Stations seemed to be placed at every 2 minute interval between downtown and the airport. Pretty sure that was not coincidence.

The train station is in what I would say the nicest way of putting it, in a sketchy part of downtown Minneapolis. It is in close distance to a beer mart and top less joints. It is in closer distance to some sketchy characters that loiter around the train station. Some do more than loiter by resorting to violence. We had just got on the train in the knick of time when a fight broke out between some loiterers on the station platform. Although there are cameras, there was a lack of security presence. That makes sense considering that there is a major Police shortage in Minneapolis. And owing to the fact that ticketing is automated, the survelience from the eyes of a ticket agent is also missing. The one thing I did like about this train station in the Fifth Avenue right-of-way was the large Bob Dylan mural facing Hennipen Avenue. In the future, if I will use the Nicollet Mall Station a couple of blocks south. It offers a nice downtown business district environment, Starbuck's, and the perception of being safe.

The Target Center where the Timberwolves and Lynx play basketball it's very close to the First Avenue Club where Prince and Morris Day and the Time were discovered. There are several units where you can pay for your fare to get on the light rail. The light rail will take you to the airport or Mall of America all in less than 30 to 40 minutes. The most exciting thing about public transportation in Minneapolis is you can play the general flat fee of two dollars and ride public transportation buses or light rail for two and half hours from the time of purchase.

I like that the bus entrance is easy to find and they have easy signs to follow. They allow ppl to stand however kids cannot (coach style buses and the handle to hold is higher up). I feel like that should have been communicated before having people board the bus agreeing to stand if they have kids. People were asked to give up seats instead of having them wait in line like everyone else had to. They did have puke bags which someone on our bus did get sick (standing).

The new station is nice, however they did not construct it in the most efficient way for parking to bus. There are 5 doors from the parking ramp to the bus entrance, so certainly room for opportunity there. There is a light rail stop here that is coming for 2027 so I am eager to see how that performs. I am hoping to see the service return to pre covid as right now there is a bus arriving about every 15 mins during the AM time and 10 years ago there was constant busses before which were amazing. It is nice to be able to just unwind on the bus and read or listen to podcasts or just sit and not have to worry about anything. There are some bus drivers who do need some more training as it is hit or miss on if you got a driver that is slamming on the breaks or one that is a good bus driver.

I will admit that an uncle-in-law is heavily involved in driving and maintaining this historic, scenic if far too short line. Running seasonally from the south side of Bde Maka Ska to around Late Harriet (see brochure for times etc) I think is a great experience. Without getting into details (see the website if interested) the Twin Cities had a streetcar service rivaled by few. At it's peak (c1920) Twin City Rapid Transit had ~900 cars, ~525 miles of track and served ~200million riders per year. It makes our current light rail system pale in comparison. Regardless, I think that this ride into the past is well worth your time. If you have the chance and are so inclined, hop aboard!

This is one of the few bus services that I actually relied on once in my life because I was stupid enough to come to Minneapolis without a car a very long time ago - so I take the bus at about lunch time up to the village of Hilltop and back and then a couple other buses to other locations in the area over subsequent days. And I like it because I'm a kid and it's exciting. But yeah. It wasn't great. They're not awful and they're not great. Nowhere near as nice as the buses in England though. They are a bit neglected, and I guess when buses have to run to through this much incredible snow and Siberian temperatures then you're glad that they just exist and and they don't break down.
