METRO Orange Line is a BRT route spanning 17 miles from Minneapolis to Burnsville. Boasting 2,000 rides per weekday and a half hour commute, the Orange Line connects Metro Transit, MVTA, and Southwest Transit service areas. It relies heavily on I-35W and makes use of transit only lanes, center of highway stations, and interstate express lanes to achieve its fifteen minute frequency. (Sourced from Wikipedia)

You should totally like follow me on Insta if you like transit photography.

EDIT: THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY RESOLVED!!!

Paraphrased from Metro Transit on Instagram and Facebook:

The Metro Transit and Metropolitan Council websites are experiencing an unexpected outage and are unavailable.

Please use Google, the Transit app, and Metro Transit's Contact Center (612 373 3333 from 6:30am to 8pm) for transit times and trip planning.

Attempts to use either website will pull up nothing. NexTrip signs along BRT and LRT stations are not providing trip information. This has been ongoing for at least the last several hours.

The schedules and maps posted at select stations and stops and the drivers themselves are also a resource you can use for navigation assistance.

Not Metro Transit themed but thought y'all would enjoy.

Took the 698U to see East Creek Station because I wanted to. Very well kept, people cleaning the station and passengers milling about. No in-person service at the service booth. There was extra activity because of the Yacht Club event going on.

In terms of bus service, it's exclusively commuter express routes. If you want to leave the station after the morning set of buses, you either can take the one 698 or 600 going East at 3pm-ish, or have to use the SW Prime service to leapfrog to SouthWest Station to catch the 686L/X, and then ride that to MOA to connect to the greater transit system.

- They can travel up to 60mph using a bus, giving them superhuman speed

- TRIP agents have been seen working double shifts, giving them peak human stamina

- Using their hive mind with Skip Traffic, they have a genius level of intelligence, particularly on transit matters

- With the Fare Enforcement technique, agents can force an adult human off the bus. Moving approximately 200lb forward ten feet in a single strike should classify them as street fighter level. Advanced users of this method can force multiple people at the same time.

- TRIP agents have normal human durability and their equipment does not improve that. This places them as an average human in this regard.

Combining their speed and strength feats, I would argue that TRIP agents are a 9-B, or Wall Level.

I've been sitting on these for a while but finally got to editing them.

Built in 2007, Mound Transit Center is a terminal destination for Route 645. The 645 departs for Minneapolis once an hour, and the 645E is the only route designation that serves Mound TC on a return trip, also once an hour. Other notable stops for the 645 include the Wayzata Park and Ride, Co Rd 73 Park and Ride, Louisiana Ave Transit Center, and downtown Minneapolis. Depending on timing, the route takes about 75 minutes to ride from start to finish.

I'm not saying we should, but... Hypothetically...
