The Metro Transit (http://www.metrotransit.org/) offers bus and light rail services to the Twin Cities and their surrounding suburbs. Average fare for either service is typically $1.75 $2.25 for the peak times of 6:00-9:00 am and 3:00-6:30 pm. The fare buys the rider a pass that can be used to ride on or transfer to any Metro Transit bus or train for 150 minutes. The Duluth Transit authority offers bus and trolley service to the Twin Ports area.
The relatively new light rail service offers a visitor-friendly line that connects the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport MSP, the Mall of America, the Warehouse District, and downtown Minneapolis among other places.
The I-35W bridge which collapsed in August 2007 over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis is now rebuilt and open to traffic ahead of schedule.
If your vehicle can run on E85, you can save money by using E85 instead of gas. There are over 350 stations that sell E85.
