Funding shortfalls are causing MetroTransit to raise bus and train fares, merge lines and reduce frequency of trains and buses. Twin Cities residents need to let MetroTransit and government officials know that people rely on these systems. The impact of cuts affect riders and discourage use of public transit, and it's not worth saving a couple bucks in taxes every year. We need to invest in our people and our future. Take ACTION!
From Skyway News, comments can be made in the following ways until May 1:
1. Comment cards, which will be made available on buses and trains;
2. E-mail to data.center@metc.state.mn.us
3. Fax to 651-602-1464
4. Mail to: Regional Data Center, Metropolitan Council, 230 E. 5th St., St. Paul, MN 55101
5. The Met Council will also be having
public hearings on the proposed cuts in April.
6. Finally, contact your state senator and representative and ask them to support a dedicated source of funding for Metro Transit (if you live in the suburbs, this is particularly important).

Obviously, transport system is vital for people using it.
For people not using it, think of it of more traffic jam thus more people in cars.
It shoudl be a priority for all. 1 train is like 200 cars off the streets, 1 bus 25 cars off the streets.
Help yourself by helping public transportation.
