Rider Information Sessions

SouthWest Transit periodically offers in-person information sessions at all three of our stations.

Want to Learn More?

Join our Information Sessions, designed to help you become more familiar with our three services and public transit in general. All are welcome, no registration needed.

These sessions will include a Q&A about:

  • Our three services
    • SW Prime (On-demand Rideshare), commonly used for grocery trips, non-emergency medical appointments, meeting up with friends, and more
    • SW Transit (Bus Routes) connecting you to downtown Minneapolis, U of MN, MOA, MSP Airport, and other key destinations
    • SW Shuttle (Special Events), which provides a Park & Ride service from our stations to Twin Cities events like Vikings, Gophers Football, Wild, Timberwolves, concerts, fairs, and festivals
  • General transit know-how
    • Reading bus schedules, using a Go-To card, and tips for making transit a convenient part of your routine
