Light Rail

Light rail service to the airport is available. Trains stop at the Lindbergh Terminal and connect travelers to 15 other destinations, including downtown Minneapolis to the north and the Mall of America to the south. Service to the Humphrey Terminal has been temporarily suspended while an adjacent parking ramp is constructed and will resume in the autumn of 2007.

In the meantime, a free shuttle bus is available to take you door-to-door between airport terminals. The shuttle bus stop at the Lindbergh Terminal is at the ground level Transit Center, located between the Blue and Red parking ramps and near the entrance to the Lindbergh Terminal light rail station. The shuttle bus stop at the Humphrey Terminal is at the Ground Transportation Center on the ground level of the existing Humphrey Terminal parking ramp. Shuttle buses between MSP's two terminals run around the clock, seven days a week, at 10-minute intervals, on average.

Light rail trains to the Lindbergh Terminal run every 7 or 8 minutes during peak hours and every 10 to 15 minutes at other times of the day. From MSP, trains can take you to the Mall of America in about 11 minutes and to the Warehouse District in downtown Minneapolis in about 25 minutes. If you have a layover and plan to take the Light Rail away from the airport, please allow time to travel and return.

Light rail fares are $2.00 during rush hours (Monday through Friday, 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6:30 p.m.) and $1.50 at other times. Tickets are sold at vending kiosks at the rail station. For more information, visit the Metro Transit Web site, http://www.metrotransit.org/rail.

The Lindbergh Terminal light rail station entrance is located near the Transit Center, between the Blue and Red Parking ramps. From the Lindbergh Terminal Tram Level (two floors below the Ticketing Lobby), take the automated Hub Tram toward the Transit Center. When you exit the tram, follow the signs to the light rail station, located 70 feet underground.
