"When are they going to admit that [the Gold Line] failed." Stated one rider of the 355 express bus to Minneapolis from Woodbury.

Ironic that a transit user would have this view. She was a polished professional, with swept blonde hair. Very put together. "No one ever boards."

Woodland Drive Station is the Eastern terminus of the rapid transit line. In the Q2 ridership report, The Gold Line had more boardings immediately than two other lines combined. #MNastadon #publictransit #bus

Serving a 10 mile corridor of Saint Paul along 94, what this rider didn't see were all the stops between Woodbury and downtown. The BRT lines cover 60,000 boardings monthly, fully 40,000 on the Gold Line alone.

Also reported was a marked increase of the 94 Express bus, showing that connections improved. People want to travel from Minneapolis to St Paul quicker, and on #publictransit.

The Gold Line has excelled. This "blind" rider identified the elephant's trunk as a snake.
