In 2027, Gold Line service will extend to downtown Minneapolis, allowing people to travel more efficiently across the metro. The Gold Line Extension will bring new, enhanced stations to Interstate 94 and Snelling Avenue as well as near U.S. Bank Stadium. In Minneapolis, the Gold Line will utilize existing bus rapid transit stations on 7th and 8th streets and bring riders to the METRO Green Line Extension’s Royalston Avenue/Farmers Market Station.
When in service, the Gold Line Extension will replace Route 94, the express route operating between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, which currently serves around 800 riders each weekday. The Gold Line will provide a one-seat ride and offer frequent service seven days a week. For more information, visit: https://www.metrotransit.org/gold-line-extension.
