Many years it took to get light rail in the cities. I was always jealous of other metropolitan…read moreareas with their sleek commuter trains and platforms. Some were classic even though run down. Metro transit does a decent job trying to keep the areas clean, considering the amount of litter gathering in a day. The system is efficient on their timing and I appreciated the efforts to make the cars more secure and safe. The train rides were a nice experience until about 2020 when things started to change. That year walking back to a seat some young show-off tried to block my way as his friends laughed. All I could do was walk right past even letting our shoulders bump, yes we have to show no fear sometimes. Another time a passenger screamed at me for no apparent reason saying he didn't want me walking past him. I've seen cars with litter, people smoking and sleeping on folded down seats. Jump to 2022 and problems seem more cleared up with more transit police kicking people off and the system scrubbing urine stains off the floor. There used to be soft cloth seats which had to be replaced with cheap hard sitting plastic.

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!

Bloomington Central Station, unlike most stations, has a pedestrian park with great landscaping around it, so a person can relax a few short yards from the station in beautiful surroundings. It is also a safe place to wait at even during late night hours. In the cold winter months overhead heaters are available to use. There is no bathrooms at this location.

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.

I thought I was doing the right thing by taking the metro to the airport but I don't think I'll do that again. The station needs a daily power wash to remove all the public urination spots. Even on a cold November day it was still rancid. it's too bad as the trains are in great condition and ride well. The windows are tall and clean making for nice views through town. The seats were all immaculate in the train. On the Blue line quite a few airport employees seemed to recognize each other and exchanged pleasantries which helped distract from the fare evaders, solicitors and people who just wanted to stop the doors from closing. There is no way I would suggest anyone to wait at this station ever. On a positive note the trains are on time.
