The Red Line served 28th Ave going northbound only. Red Line service to 28th Ave ended on May 19, 2017.

Because it was deliberately made difficult for drivers to park at the Mall of America and then ride light rail, this is an easy alternative. It is only about two blocks from the Mall of America and is much more convenient for drivers to park and ride.
