Happy E Line opening day!
#metrotransitmn
When #metrotransitmn upgrades the 6 to the E this winter, the scoreboard on #transitapp will go away. So while I still have the chance for it, I'm trying to get to the number one contributor spot on the scoreboard!
Northstar Link service will also end on Jan 5th, 2026 so there will be no transit connection between St. Cloud, Becker, Big Lake, Elk River, and the Metro at all during commute times unless there's something I don't know about.I wish #metrotransitmn had a Bustang-esque system instead of severing the only link. https://catchthelink.com/887-detours/

Catch the Link
Metropolitan Council set an end date for Northstar service in January 2026. None of the replacement service has any connection with Sherburne County. No other service to St Cloud allows full size bikes. It'll be the first commuter rail line disbanded in modern times that I know of. It's shameful that it was blocked from being completed to St. Cloud so it was destined to flop. So many one off trips with my bike will no longer be possible. https://metrocouncil.org/Council-Meetings/Committees/Committee-of-the-Whole/2025/08-06-25/Northstar-Transition.aspx

Using every opportunity to lobby...

Minneapolis' #MetroTransitMN has a webform to pledge to have "*a* car-free day" in September, and asks what for. I wrote about my bus trip tomorrow:

> " Beautiful and historic Stillwater... but I will bike an hour+ back to Lake Phalen because no return bus :( "

The schedule below comprises MetroTransit's ENTIRE bus service to Stillwater MN... ONE bus per weekday... Don't be late!๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Due to ongoing cold weather, Metro Transit has activated their cold weather protocol. Riders will be allowed to ride regardless of available fare if they need a place to stay warm. However, they are not keeping transit stations open, instead redirecting people to county warming facilities. #msptransit #metrotransitmn
