Ep. 166: Metro Transit 2027: New Lines, Easier Rides and What’s Ahead

How is Metro Transit changing the way people travel across the Twin Cities, and what can riders expect in 2027? Adam Harrington, Director of Service Development at Metro Transit, joins us to answer those questions and explore the future of public transportation across Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding region.

Adam explains how the network has evolved, why the METRO Blue Line connection to Mall of America matters and how first-time riders can plan a trip and use Go-To Pay. We also look ahead to the METRO Green Line Extension, the Gold Line extension to Minneapolis and other improvements expected in 2027.

Plus, get a preview of Metro Transit at the Mall, a free, hands-on event September 19 in the Huntington Bank Rotunda at Mall of America. Guests can explore transit careers, sit in a bus driver’s seat, meet Skip Traffic and enjoy a Metro Transit Police K9 showcase.
