MN: Metro Transit Will Give Free Rides for Passengers Using Buses Replacing LRT Service During Super Bowl

Metro Transit on Wednesday said it will offer free rides for Blue and Green Line passengers who will be put on replacement buses on Super Bowl Sunday as portions of both light-rail lines will be restricted exclusively for fans heading to the game.

The announcement came after scores of riders raised concerns about the plan to use the Blue Line to shuttle fans with tickets and a  $30 light-rail “game-day pass” between Mall of America and U.S. Bank Stadium. Trains will not stop between the mall and the stadium.

On the Green Line, only ticket holders will be allowed to ride from trains from Stadium Village west into downtown Minneapolis on Feb. 4.
