Bus Service to/from Twin Cities

Jefferson Lines Offers Daily Bus Service from the UMD Campus to the Twin Cities

Jefferson Bus Lines connects the UMD community, as well as Duluth area residents, to the Twin Cities and points beyond. The Jefferson Line pick up is right on UMD's campus at Kirby Circle (formerly the DTA bus stop), on Kirby Drive (see map to right). The service is seven days a week.

The Daily Departure bus leaves UMD each afternoon at 3:50 p.m. and stops at Forest Lake, St. Paul Depot, Minneapolis Depot, the Amtrak Station, and the University of Minnesota Coffman Memorial Union, as well as other locations on Interstate 35. The bus leaves the Twin Cities for Duluth each morning. Tickets to the Twin Cities are only $29 one-way or $56 round trip. Riders with a U Card or student ID will receive an additional 15 percent off regular priced daily service. You can save even more with special 7 and 14-day advance fares (no additional discounts apply). Tickets can be purchased on the UMD campus at the UMD Stores, Street Level at 1120 Kirby Drive.
