Getting Around
Metropolitan Council Transit Commission
560 Sixth Ave. N., Minneapolis. Phone 612-349-7000.
The MCTC runs the local bus system in both cities. Especially useful are the express buses (Routes 94B, 94C and 94D) that connect the two downtown areas in a quick 20-minute trip. Buses operate 24 hours, but not all routes run all night. Be sure to consult a schedule.
Taxi
It's best to order a taxi by phone or to find one at a hotel. Taxis can be hailed, but drivers are not accustomed to it.
Airport Taxi
Phone 952-928-0000.
Yellow Cab
Phone 612-824-4444.
Train
Amtrak
The depot is in the St. Paul Midway area. 730 Transfer Road (about 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul), St. Paul. Toll-free 800-872-7245.
Even in the dead of winter, walking through downtown in both cities is comfortable, thanks to a compact and ingenious system of 60 skyways: enclosed, climate-controlled elevated walkways. They connect more than 45 blocks (4.7 miles) in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
