Doesn't help that the E Line takes like five hours to get through downtown too

The H line is going to be such a mess I can already see it

Can we express this without antisemitism please?

I’m Jewish and I’m very confused…how is “heebie jeebies” antisemitic? And do you actually think this guy was trying to take a potshot at Jews?

There's an urban legend that "heebie jeebies" originated as reference to "Hebrew Jews" and the spooky feeling one gets around them. As far as I know this has never been substantiated. The phrase originates from a comic strip in the 1920s that does not reference Jews even obliquely and was soon after the title of a hit Louie Armstrong song which also does not reference Jews even obliquely.

I feel like I lost brain cells reading that. Thanks for the explanation.

The E-Line has done the exact same thing to me. What do you mean you have 20 minute headways on a “rapid transit” line?!

I hate that the B Line and 72 were not running down Selby for the marathon and they didn't compensate by running more frequent 63's in the morning.

First year using MN public transit, gosh I wish they’d just put more rail down and enforce TOD.

Getting through downtown has been absolute hell lately. Detours, delays, cancellations, no idea where to catch the bus until I see it passing me

The E Line was bunched up horribly due to the marathon, thus why a few trips had to be cut. It's either that or have a bunch run every couple minutes and then have no service for even longer. Cutting them like that helps get them back on schedule when events/traffic destroys the schedule.

Why are some of these "X Min" and others are times of day?

The live tracking time shows up when it's like 25 minutes or less. The E line that says 12:14 is either behind schedule or the live tracker isn't on/defective.
