University of Minnesota transit service
It's fast, it's easy, and it's inexpensive
And now it's even more affordable with U-Pass (for students) and Metropass (for faculty and staff). Both are valid on buses and trains. Click here to find out more.
There are more than 35 bus routes traveling to the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses with light-rail service just blocks from the West Bank campus. See a list of all routes serving campus.
Days
of operation
Most limited-stop and express bus service to the University operates on weekdays only. Consult your route schedules for the exact days of operation. There is no service on official University holidays when offices are closed and classes are excused.
Get a Go-To Card
If you aren't eligible for a U-Pass or Metropass, you can still save money with a Go-To Card. Use your card again and again – when the value gets low, simply add stored value or a 31-Day Pass. Get your Go-To Card online or pick one up at the Coffman Information Desk.
