The Wheels on the Bus Feat. Metro Transit
Manage episode 499073826 series 3602852
How does public transit work in the Twin Cities?
To find out, we invited Metro Transit GM Lesley Kandaras and bus driver Al Chang to our St. Louis Park studio. (Kandaras, a true company woman who has ridden all 60 MT routes, even took the bus there.) Transit enthusiasts should enjoy this convo about the successes, challenges, new developments, and total disinterest in building a subway system surrounding our town's bus and light rail operator.
But first! We engage in the second-ever (and possibly last-ever) installment of "Birthday Breakdown" to celebrate Jay's big 3-8. And here are the stories we gabbed about afterward during What I Learned In Racket...
- Racket’s Year in Review: August 2024-July 2025
- Best Budget Bites: $9.99 Roast Beef Sandwich From Maverick’s Real Roast Beef
