Free Ride Buses are offered by Minneapolis' METRO Transit Blue and Green lines, allowing riders to skip fare pay when boarding near the newly-renovated Nicollet Mall. Buses travel north from the mall and into downtown Minneapolis, with all routes ending at Washington Avenue. Visitors can board Route 18 buses for connections into the city, or hop on Route 10 or 59 buses for connections to the Minneapolis Convention Center. All buses board at Fifth Street between Nicollet and Grant and are available seven days a week. Visitors can also extend their rides to other bus routes throughout the city for only a 50 cent charge, a substantial discount over typical METRO bus fare.

Address: 505 Nicollet, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55402, Phone: 612-397-9275
