In the meeting they confirmed something that I think is very important: you'll be able to buy fare cards at the ticket vending machines!
This is a huge limitation of the current system, glad it is being addressed.

They are naming the nicollet BRT line after that effing Kmart.
West 7th St (Route 54) is proposed as the J Line, and Nicollet Ave (Route 18) is proposed as the K Line.
The L Line, which was supposed to be identified at the same time as J and K, will need more evaluation. However, planners are suggesting scenarios for an extension of the existing C Line.

Elliot Park and Currie Park, at 10pm in the summer, some of the most vibrant and beautiful places anywhere.
It's a small thing, but it fills me with civic pride to walk through the giant park near my house and see Hmong families having cookouts, Somali parents pushing their laughing kids on the swings.
Like, here are people who've endured horrors, and my city has welcomed them in to build peaceful lives.

Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.

It's so wild that MTA puts snow chains on their buses. It barely even snowed!

And finally, as this team went, they yelled to the crowd, "WE'RE THE B LINE."

I know there's many more pressing matters in the Twin Cities right now, but Metro Transit is seeking feedback on a suite of changes and improvements to Route 14!

Remember, historically the DFL-endorsed governor candidate hasn't actually won the primary. And the endorsement winner hasn't always been the obvious choice. Nor has the primary winner. It's very much a wide-open race!

Minnesota has to come first - always.
Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.
I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

Political musical chairs, it's a game as Minnesotan as duck duck grey duck. Happens about every 8 years or so.

While the demise of the MetroCard is making big news, what's slipped under the radar is the demise of the turnstile.

No weather-related light rail delays!
November 18 1943: The Minneapolis Tribune leads with "Snow Stops Buses, Not Trolleys" after a storm snarls traffic and causes buses to slide off the road. The Twin Cities Rapid Transit streetcar system is the only reliable thing moving.

New York Transit Museum's Holiday Train! Consisting of Arnine subway cars from the 1930s! And a very anachronistic sign (96th St/2nd Av did not open until 2017!)

A Gillig 40-footer (a bus from the A Line) is currently running on the E Line.
I had wondered if this would happen, given that the 6 never had articulated buses before.
