Last year in Minnesota there were 151 traffic deaths in the three months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. If cars were guns, that's enough death to get us labeled "Murdersota."

The Northstar doesn't seem to be shining brightly...

Who needs that St. Cloud extension and 30-minute frequencies of trains anyway πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜›

Don't worry, Green Line riders, we'll be allocating funds to improve speed and reliability

Here's our action plan to improve the Green Line:

- Retractable spikes to deter drivers from impeding trains
- Increasing speed limits to 110mph
- Removing the Stadium Village diversion
- Anything but TSP

Driving is so unsafe! We do not need any more of it.... πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈThey are a waste of taxpayer dollars, noisy, polluting, destructive, and expensive 😑

What a complete disaster.

I want to thank myself for spending:

- $715.3 million on the Blue Line
- $317 million on the Northstar
- Nearly $1 billion on the Green Line
- $2.86 billion on the Green Line Extension
- About to spend $3.2 billion on the Blue Line Extension

bc metro transit buses aren't running but rail is fine

I am once again asking for your support in our fight to stay above the Met Council in follower counts.

This race is close. The Met Council is sitting at 123 followers, whereas the Met Council is at 118 followers.

Can the Met Council count on you to help us win this race?

We don't need light rail because nobody uses the light rail, it's true! (I never rode light rail before)

Metro micro is a Microtransit service! Commuters can book a ride only during normal Northstar service hours

Travel times may take up to 4 hours to downtown Minneapolis from Big Lake or St. Cloud. We'll have plenty, as in 2 micro buses in use

Vikings and Twins gamespecial service will be provided

We're happy to announce to Rep. Jon Koznick (R, MN 57-A) that the Northstar Commuter Rail service will be transitioning to Metro micro.

Service changes take effect February 29th, 2025.

Infrastructure and trains will be left to rot. Tax payer money & fed funding will be sent into the oblivion.

Guys, we CANNOT have the Met Council overtake the Met Council in follower counts!

We're currently sitting at 115 followers compared to the Metropolitan Council's 97 followers.

We have to widen that gap for the sake of the Twin Cities. Our lives depend on it.

Hey, Twin Cities! πŸ’™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜Ž

Thanks to the added flexibility, speed, comfortability, and reliability of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), the METRO Blue and Green LRT Lines will be upgraded to BRT.

Buses will continue to use light rail tracks and right of way.

Changes take effect on February 30th, 2025.
