Absolutely terrible to use. So frustrating; still we try

Transaction security

Tried to use Apple Pay and immediately had my card charged over $2000 for a Turo car rental.

Too bad it won’t open

Useless

The app is obviously essential but is very poorly designed.

The app is obviously essential but is very poorly designed. Every tool involved simply leads to the web page and, with all the construction occurring, it is difficult to find which stops are actually being stopped at as they are not identified. There isn’t, as far as I can tell, any intuitive way to determine if a stop is or is not in use at the moment because of the construction so one is simply expected to walk to a stop not knowing whether or not they can board there. The tools (ie Trip Planner and NexTrip) are terrible to navigate on mobile because they are webpages and not actual tools. Terrible app but I have no other choice but to use it.

FAQ

What does the Metro Transit app do?

The app allows users to plan their transit trips, view real-time departure information for buses and trains, and purchase mobile tickets directly from their smartphone. It aims to make using public transportation in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area more convenient.

How do I buy tickets with the app?

After planning your trip, you can buy and use Metro Transit mobile tickets directly from your smartphone. You can pay for single or multiple fares and store them on your phone for future use. Payment can be made with credit/debit cards or pre-paid gift cards.

Is the app free to use?

Yes, the app itself is free to download and use. You will need to create an account and add a method of payment to purchase tickets, but there are no additional charges for using the app's planning and ticketing features.

Do I need an internet connection to use the app?

An internet connection is required to create an account, sign in, and to purchase and activate tickets. Once tickets are activated, you are responsible for having a valid fare at all times, so ensure your phone has sufficient battery.

What if my phone's battery dies?

Similar to paper tickets, you are responsible for ensuring you have a valid fare at all times. If your phone's battery dies, you will not be able to present a valid ticket, so it is important to plan ahead and monitor your battery level.
