History
The METRO Red Line is Minnesota's first bus rapid transit line. MVTA ordered buses from NovaBus to take advantage of available manufacturing time slots to try to begin service in 2012. The Red Line opened in 2013.[1]
In August 2020, the Metropolitan Council reported Metro Transit will assume Red Line operations beginning December 5, 2020. The agency also plans to retire the fleet because it's exceeded its useful mileage. The buses will be retired on December 4, 2020.[2]
