Getting ready for your ride

To find your closest transit stops and schedules, use the online Trip Planner or the Metro Transit app and enter your home address and name of your school. Search the schedule for a weekday arrival time at least 15-30 minutes before the start of the school day. School staff will help students get to and from bus stops the first few weeks of school, distribute cards, and help with lost or stolen cards.

Use the NexTrip feature or the Metro Transit app to get real-time updates on the location of your bus or train. Sign up for Rider Alerts to receive a text message when your route is running off schedule.

For help by phone, call 612-373-3333. Our trip planning experts are standing by from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Interpretation services for dozens of languages are available over the phone by request. You can also text your questions to 612-444-1161 or use the chat feature on this page. 


How to ride

Arrive at your stop five minutes before the bus or train is scheduled to arrive. Tap your card on the Go-To Card reader on the bus or on the METRO BRT/light rail platform every time you ride – including each time you transfer. For more information, visit metrotransit.org/how-to-ride.
