They do have ticket machines but there not on the station platforms which is probably the biggest issue trying to implement it into our system, it kinda works like how you trsnsfer from bus to bus here where you insert your ticket in a machine then spits it back out.

Might only be me but with the fair increase I kind of hope metro starts talking about the possibility of adding more zones besides the 2 downtown ones as well as an easier way to pay for them. For instance I know I'm being a little idealistic but I kind of imagine something like the London undergrou...

Bit out of nowhere but anyone know or have a source listing the most used/visited stations on the green line, just for curiosities sake.

The only thing I'm scratching my head about is why they didn't attempt this first if its for the good of MN to stop the swlrt since because of there earlier attempt to literally different funds to roads seems like a last ditch attempt to direct money elsewhere.

I kind of which they could of started earlier or later so that construction wouldn't interfere with the Raspberry Festival in July, specifically Saturday and Sunday when its already kind of a nightmare trying to navigate downtown, but you cant have everything. Also I'm willing to bet once the Artery...

This is interesting, always thought it was a little bit of a waste to have the line never getting to st cloud. Since it looks like at the moment 1 roundtrip a day I imagine that its going to use one of the weekday trains so if your coming from st. cloud you don't have to hop on the northstar link th...

Since at the moment it looks like the project is using the same rolling stock (Siemens Charger) as Brightline in Florida I wonder if the service proves successful this summer, it might make BNSF or MNDOT take a few notes for the NLX.

So I take it at best construction will start in summer which around the Hopkins might be a bit of a nightmare with that and the 169 bride of nine mile closed in till October and as whether the FTA funding will be pulled i'm kind of leaning towards the side of it probably not going to happen since we...

Any idea when construction is supposed to start, I know it was said it would start this year and run into 2020 with service beginning in 2021 but given how its still being heavily fought over in the capital I hope I'm wrong but I kind of have a gut feeling than the December 31st will roll around and...
