Jefferson Lines Minneapolis Duluth recent customer reviews
I waited in the freezing temps for 40 minutes and the bus never arrived. Tried calling customer service, didn’t get an answer, the app bus tracker also was not providing bus location information.

Great trip overall, comfortable and quiet. I'd definitely improve your directions to where your bus arrives and how to get there (specifically for MSP airport) as I found myself a bit lost and confused if I was at the right place. Turns out I was but some signage saying "stop here for Jefferson Lines bus" or something would be fantastic just to reassure people they are at the correct place

The bus left from a location other than the designated stop and I missed it as a result
