TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT
Transportation from MSP Airport
Taxi, limousine, van and shuttle services, and car rental companies all operate at MSP.
Public transportation is available through Metro Transit, which provides both Light Rail Transit and public bus service within the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
The Terminal 1-Lindbergh Ground Transportation booth on Level T is staffed seven days a week from 7 am to 11:30 pm. Staff provides information, directions and other assistance to travelers.
Taxi Fares:
Downtown Minneapolis is approximately 12 miles from the airport, with fares averaging $38-$49. A $6.50 fare will be displayed on the Taxicab meter at the onset of your trip. All taxi fares are metered at a rate of up to $2.50 per mile and include a $4 airport access fee that is added to the final metered fare.
Light Rail
Light Rail Transit (LRT) trains stop at both Terminal 1-Lindbergh and Terminal 2-Humphrey and connect travelers to 17 other destinations, including downtown Minneapolis to the north and the Mall of America to the south.
Trains run every 10 minutes during peak hours and typically every 10 to 15 minutes at other times of the day.* From the airport, trains can take you to the Mall of America in about 12 minutes and to the Warehouse District in downtown Minneapolis in about 25 minutes.
Tickets are sold at ticket machines at rail stations.
Light rail fares for adults are $2.25 during rush hours (Monday through Friday, 6 to 9 am and 3 to 6:30 pm) and $1.75 at other times.

PLEASE NOTE: If a session you wish to attend on Day 1 is full, please select another option and know that you can attend that same session on Day 2.
