The
Star Tribune reported Wednesday that the Northstar commuter-rail
line will be making some changes including an extra trip Sunday after the
Vikings game and earlier departure times.
The
Vikings-Bears game at the Metrodome Sunday afternoon is the reason for an extra
departure time on Sunday.
Starting Monday, trains from downtown
Minneapolis will depart five minutes earlier than the times listed on the
original schedule, according to transportation officials.
The change was made in an effort to
better serve customers who were feeling rushed. "The extra five minutes will give customers a reliable
connection to their homebound trains," said Adam Harrington, assistant
director of route and system planning.
The Minnesota Daily reported Nov.
15 that Metrotransit's Northstar rail line serves the north metropolitan area
including Anoka, Big Lake, Coon Rapids/Riverdale, Elk River, and Target
Field.
