Join your friends at streets.mn for a Hopkins happy hour + bus trip. In case you missed the Red Line ride, or the A Line ride, these are fun ways to learn about transit, hanging out with fellow transit nerds, and see new parts of the city that might be worth a gander.
Here we’re going to Hopkins to check out some of the transit potential in the West Metro’s finest suburb (at least according to Bill Lindeke). Come along and have some fun riding the 612!
The events committee has put together the following itinerary:
It’ll be great! And maybe even spring-like. Post a comment if you have any questions, and please RSVP here to let us know you’re coming.
Bus route from Uptown Minneapolis to Hopkins
Take a walk with us through Hopkins to LTD brewing
Wait. Saturday the 30th or Sunday the 31st?
Saturday the 30th. The 31st is a typo.

Nice. No one mind if, as a Hopkins resident, I just bike over to the future LRT station and meet ya there? It about 2–3 minutes from where I live. 😇
Not a problem!
Oops, I should’ve double checked instead of copy/paste! Can you fix it on the signup genius link too?
I fixed it. That’s my bad on the copy-paste. (I’ve been out for a bit so just catching up on things.)
This looks interesting, Judging by the schedule I assuming we’re only gonna visit the future Downtown station and pass over the other two stations in Hopkins (Blake and Shady Oak)
Makes sense for a March bus trip. The other two stations aren’t the closest to a Saturday bus route.
A summer trip though on bikes would be perfect to hit the other stations though!
That’s correct. This trip will only cover the future Downtown Hopkins station this time around. Easy to get to via bus and close to some places for snacks and beverages afterwards.
Entirely coincidental, but I just finished my long intended post about a certain sad bus stop that is along this exact route. You could add it to the site seeing. Heh.
