Twin Cities Public Transit

[vakkotaur]

Twin Cities public transit must really be impressive. Most public transit systems try to replace the ordinary commuter's car. Twin Cities public transit has now managed to successfully replace the getaway car. I recall rillaspins quip, "Public transportation: Transporting criminals to the public."

That is indeed near where I live...sigh.

The Cub robbery was just down the street. (AND next to the lightrail.)

Well, unfortunately, that link is 404'd, but I can kind of guess at it. Robber holds up business, and gets away on a transit bus? Sadly, I've heard it before, so it's not like the Twin Cities is first.

From the article: "A man who robbed a south Minneapolis bank Monday afternoon made the liquor store his next stop, then went into a sandwich shop and finally made his getaway on a bus." And as far as I've heard, he's not yet been caught. Evidently the only place he robbed , at least just then, was the bank.
