Route 693 - Saturdays only
Route 693 connects the U of M, Downtown Minneapolis, Southdale, Shady Oak P&R, Golden Triangle,  Eden Prairie Center and SouthWest Station. This is the answer for many workers in this area who ride our regular weekday service.

Routes begin at the U of M at 6:45 a.m., travel down Marquette Ave., stopping at 35W and Lake St., before heading west towards Eden Prairie. 

Routes heading to Downtown Minneapolis and the U of M start at SouthWest Station at 6:45 a.m., running hourly all day, dropping off along 2nd Ave.

Think of all the shopping you can do - without any parking or traffic hassles. Park in our covered ramp here at SouthWest Station, go on to Eden Prairie Center and then to Southdale. Shop at Southdale for a while and then either take a connecting bus to the Mall of America or get back on the 693 to go to downtown Minneapolis. Of course, if you go to Mall of America, you can catch the light rail to downtown. This is the perfect way to get to downtown events on Saturday afternoons, too.  Just remember, the last bus back to SouthWest Station leaves downtown at 5:45 pm.

Our main lobby at SouthWest Station will be closed, but you can wait in the parking ramp lobby. The bus will stop in Gate C, the gate nearest the ramp.
