It's the End of the Line for Central Fridley Bus Route

A new bus route that made its debut a little more than a year ago will stop running next month.

That's the word from Metro Transit, which blamed the elimination of Route 810 on low ridership.

The bus runs between Northstar Commuter Rail trains and major employers in Fridley.

Here is the announcement Metro Transit posted online March 26, 2013:

For Route 810 customers.

Effective Friday, May 17, Route 810 will be eliminated due to low customer demand.

Route 810 has been partially supported by a federal grant that was expected to fund operations through March 2014, but due to low ridership on the route, the grant money will be spent in April.

Thank you for riding this route. The last day of service will be Friday, May 17.
