Twin Cities has great transit. Is it just that wherever you're going requires a transfer?

Twin Cities has great transit.

No, the Twin Cities has highly ranked mass transit in the United States. That doesn’t mean it’s great, it instead speaks to how poor mass transit is in the US.

The Met Council and partners are working to improve and make it better but they’ve got a long way to go.

I’d love to get rid of my car and use the mass transit, I hate driving. As it currently is though I’ll be better served when I buy an e-bike this coming spring and use that to get around instead.

Mass transit in the Twin Cities is ass by any metric except comparison to other US cities
