List of transit routes in Minneapolis–Saint Paul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Metro Transit Route 9)

Several routes meet during rush hour at the University of Minnesota.

The following is a list of bus routes operating in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. A majority of routes are operated by Metro Transit, but some are operated by suburban "opt-out" providers or are under contract. There are two light rail lines, four bus rapid transit lines, and one commuter rail line. Almost all routes operate within the seven county metro area defined by the Metropolitan Council.

METRO and Northstar

[edit]

METRO is the branding used for High Frequency, high capacity light rail and bus rapid transit lines operated by Metro Transit. There are seven further rapid transit lines in advanced planning or under construction.
