Suburb to Suburb Transit Service Launches Jan. 19
30-Minute Frequency During Morning, Afternoon Peak Periods
Post Date:12/28/2015
The first ever Suburb to Suburb Transit Service will be available to commuters in the cities of Plymouth, Maple Grove, Hopkins, Eden Prairie and Shakopee beginning Jan. 19.
Route 494 will offer commuters the opportunity to ride the bus between Shakopee’s Marschall Road Transit Station and Plymouth’s Station 73, with connecting service to and from the Maple Grove Transit Station. The initiative is funded by the Minnesota Legislature and facilitated by the Suburban Transit Association.
Route 494 is aimed at increasing access to major employment and commercial centers throughout the Twin Cities western suburbs. The route is designed to demonstrate the success of express bus service between suburbs.
The service plan includes 20 trips operating about every 30 minutes, in both northbound and southbound directions during the morning and afternoon peak periods. Buses will be operated by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), SouthWest Transit and Plymouth Metrolink.
A local peak fare of $2.25 per trip will be charged on this demonstration route. Transfers to local or other routes may include an additional fee. All buses will be equipped with regional fare equipment and will accept Go-To cards, Metropasses, tokens, Stored Value cards and cash. Change is not available.
To obtain a schedule, call MVTA at 952-882-7500 or visit s2s494.com.
