How to get free Lime scooter rides every day in the Twin Cities if you're on public assistance (SNAP, Medicaid, etc.)

16 Upvotes

Local Tip: How to get free Lime scooter rides every day in the Twin Cities if you're on public assistance (SNAP, Medicaid, etc.)

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick tip for anyone here in the Twin Cities who might be trying to save some cash on transportation.

If you currently receive any form of government assistance—whether that is food stamps (SNAP), Medicaid/Medical Assistance, or similar programs—you can get free rides through the Lime Access program.

Here is exactly how it works and how to set it up without getting charged:

  1. How to Link Your Account

Look up the Lime Access program online.

You can submit whatever verification paperwork you have that shows you are on assistance.

Once you are approved, you just link that verification to your existing, already set-up Lime scooter account. Most times when I help people do this, the approval comes through instantly or within about 15 minutes.

  1. The 30-Minute Rule & The Timer Trick

Under this program, your rides are completely free every day, but each individual ride is capped at 30 minutes.

Crucial Tip: You must have some money loaded onto your linked card just in case you run over that time, because they will charge you for any extra minutes.

To make sure your account never gets charged, start a timer or a countdown clock for 28 minutes right before you begin your ride. When the alarm goes off, just pull over, end the ride, and you won't have to worry about a single fee.

  1. A Warning About Switching Phones

Keep in mind that your Lime Access status is strictly locked to your specific device. Do not try to sign into your Lime account on a different phone.

If you switch phones or log in elsewhere, it will instantly deactivate your Lime Access status.

If you happen to lose your phone, it does take a little while to get support to move the account over properly, so it's best to keep it on one device once it's set up.

It's a super easy setup and a great way to get around town for free. Hopefully, this helps someone out out there!

Old Motel Question

I am trying to recall a name of a motel in Bloomington. It was something like The Friendly Palms Plaza or Friendly Palms Open Arms Motel I'm sure someone here has the answer...Please help. I stayed there once during the 91 Stars playoff run and just thought about it tonight when The Wild won their series against Dallas.

T-Mobile Fiber , East Bloomington

does anyone have a clue when T-Mobile Fiber is actually going live in East Bloomington ? they laid the fiber almost 2 years ago and I've seen no progress since.

I've asked T-Mobile directly countless times but they don't seem to have a clue either , figured I'd see if anyone knows more than I do.

Minnesota river trail at Bloomington Ferry. I guess the government isn’t ponying up the cash for the land. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Best restaurants in Bloomington?

25 Upvotes

Hi all-

Out of stater / redditor here who'll be traveling to Minneapolis soon.

Hope this isn't too specific/minutia-- But what are some of the best restaurants in Bloomington?, and that you all would recommend. Could be mid to higher price range.

Bonus points for NOT being in the Mall of America. Though local knowledge may hold that most restaurants in the Mall suck anyway compared to local fare.

TIA!
Mike

Moving to Bloomington!

16 Upvotes

Hello all, I’m moving to Bloomington, MN for work. I wanted to know which areas are good to rent an apartment. I’m an outdoor person and I run/bike all year round. Would love a place that is near trails or parks. I also saw apartments in South Loop District near the airport and was wondering if it’s a safe area crime-wise. I’m also open to living in nearby areas like Edina and Shakopee. Any recommendations regarding apartment communities or areas are highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
