Commuters in the Blaine zone are in for a new transit experience as Metro Transit rolls out its "micro" bus service. This modern take on public transit provides a door-to-door, ride-share service that caters to ADA-accessible minibuses. Introducing an innovative way to navigate the area, the service offers connections to prime locations, including shopping centers, medical facilities, and entertainment venues.
The micro service is touted for its flexibility, allowing passengers to set their pickup locations, such as their home, and select drop-off points like bus stops or metro stations within the service region. According to Anoka County's announcement, this personalized approach aims to ease daily commutes and enhance accessibility within the community. Moreover, the service integrates with existing routes 10, 25, 804, and 852, creating a seamless link to broader areas.
To facilitate user access to this service, riders can download the Metro micro app or, for those less tech-inclined, simply place a call to 651-602-1170 to book rides. Ensuring the service's availability aligns with the community's active hours, operations are scheduled from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekends, with potential variations on holidays.
For anyone looking to explore the Blaine zone or simply carrying out their daily tasks, this service promises to be an essential asset to the local transport network.
