Blue Line Switches to Buses This Summer

Big changes are coming to Metro Transit this summer: Blue Line trains between Target Field and the Mall of America will be replaced by buses from June 29 to August 19, 2026, to upgrade signals and improve reliability. Green Line riders can expect limited bus service between Target Field and West Bank from July 1–26 and again August 16–19, with longer travel times—plan ahead. Use the D Line as an alternative for Mall-bound trips, and transfer via Blue Line buses at West Bank for extended routes. Cyclists: the Hiawatha trail has detours. Sign up for “Blue Line Bus” alerts and check online maps to stay updated and avoid surprises. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
