Questions About The Light Rail!
1.When should I use the light rail at the MOA and the point is that I want to go to every stop,so I can get a feeling on being a train for a long time?!
2.When did the light rail open up?
3.Where can I locate the light rail at MOA?
4.How much does the ticket cost?
5.Do I have to bring exact change for the ticket?

Most of the information should be here:
Hiawatha Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ticket machine will give you change for bigger bills and you can also pay credit card which is what I usually do.
The Mall of America light rail station is on the bottom floor, near Underwater World. |

Just remember if you pay with a bigger bill that you will be getting change in dollar coins and quarters. Getting 18 dollar coins in change can be a real hassle...you only make that mistake once.

Don't worry about that feeling. Get on that trolley car and to get even a few miles takes a long time. Don't compare it to a train though, because this thing is a slug on wheels.
There are about 30 stops for the entire drive. Use some judgement about which ones to get off on, because many of them are gang infested neighborhoods.
Bring a loaded gun for self protection, and have fun! |

BORGUSX, chandlerguy is messin with ya. I doubt he's ever been on the Hiawatha line. It is very safe to ride, and you don't need a gun in the neighborhoods where the stations are. It also dosen't have 30 stations, there are ~16. It's about a 35 minute ride from MOA to Hennepin.

Does Mpls even have "gang infested neighborhoods"? I've spent time in all parts of the city, at all times of day, and not once ever had any problem.
Also, I've been on that train probably a hundred times, and never have had any issues. Don't let anyone scare you off, the Hiawatha line is great- now we just need to get working on the other lines.
