The METRO F Line represents a forthcoming bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor developed by Metro Transit serving the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. Spanning approximately 13 miles, the route will connect Northtown Transit Center in Blaine with downtown Minneapolis, primarily following the corridors of Central Avenue and University Avenue. This new service is set to replace a significant portion of the existing Route 10. As the sixth arterial BRT line within the Metro network, its objective is to improve transit speed and regional accessibility. Originally, construction was scheduled for 2025 but has been postponed to 2028 to align with planned roadway improvements by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). The F Line will provide connections to several local bus services as well as other BRT and light rail lines in the downtown area.
In terms of rider demographics, more than 50% of those using Route 10 identify as people of color; about 20% have disabilities, and 80% earn less than $60,000 annually. Current ridership on this corridor averages around 11,000 trips each weekday, serving close to 160,800 employment opportunities along its path. The F Line is designed to deliver frequent service intervals, operating every 10 minutes during most daytime hours with reduced frequency during early morning and late evening periods.
