Getting between terminals and to the city

Travel between the terminals is free and available 24 hours a day, with no ticket needed. Most of the day you ride the METRO Blue Line, which stops at both terminals. From 11 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., MSP says to use the Metro Blue Line airport shuttle. Between terminals, MSP's airline page says trains run about every 10 minutes at peak times and every 10 to 15 minutes otherwise. Other MSP pages give 15 to 30 minutes from about 3:30 a.m. to midnight, or 15 to 20 minutes from about 5 a.m. to midnight, so check metrotransit.org before you rely on a specific train.

Terminal 1 station: from the Tram Level, one level below bag claim, take the tram to the Red, Blue and Silver ramps and follow the signs to the Blue Line. Terminal 2 station: from Level 1 near Ticketing, go up to the Orange Ramp skyway, follow the signs to the station, then go down one level.

If you have mobility challenges or special needs, MSP runs a free inter-terminal shuttle with a wheelchair lift. It serves Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (Level 1 of the Purple Ramp), the Quick Ride Ramp and the InterContinental Hotel, about every 20 minutes from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. MSP's own pages give two Terminal 1 stops for this shuttle (Level 1 of the Brown Ramp, or the east roadway curb at Level 1 of the Gold Ramp) and two overnight numbers (612-794-4147 and 612-725-4681). Follow the overhead signs or call.

Metro Transit city bus Route 54 stops at the Transit Center on Level 1 of the Silver Ramp at Terminal 1. There is no bus stop at Terminal 2, so ride the Blue Line to Terminal 1 first. Check metrotransit.org for the route and times.
