C Line Sandbox
[edit]Fleet
[edit]The C Line has fourteen 60-foot articulated buses assigned to the route. Six buses are diesel XD60 models and eight are battery-electric XE60 models, the first electric articulated buses in Minnesota.[2] These buses were manufactured by New Flyer Industries in Saint Cloud, Minnesota and have three doors and wider aisles for faster boarding.[3][4] The fleet is also equipped with transit signal priority, Quantum wheelchair securement, free WiFi, and USB chargers. Each bus was given a unique name by communities along the corridor.[5]
Due to issues with charging equipment at garages, all eight electric buses were temporarily removed from service in July 2019 and then again in October.[6][7] Because of this, three Gillig BRTPlus buses ordered for the A Line were temporarily placed into service on the C Line from July 2019 through January 2020.[8] The electric buses returned to service late-October the same year.[9]
Additionally, five New Flyer XD60 buses were retrofitted with their fareboxes and To-Go card readers removed and repainted into METRO branding to be used on the C Line and A Line as necessary.[10]

[edit]Renovation
[edit]In mid-2020 Metro Transit plans on renovating the 15-year-old transit center to provide a better experience for customers.[11] Since the opening of the Metro C Line in June 2019, the transit center has seen an increase in traffic. In an interview, Metro Transit Spokesperson Howie Pandilla said "When you have a transit center that's been used as much as this has, it can come to look used. It needs a facelift every once in a while."[12]
The renovation is not funded as part of either the C Line or D Line projects, but through Metro Transit's capital improvements budget.[13] Current plans call for replacement of concrete and crosswalks, as well as other accessibility improvements, additional lighting both inside and outside the facility, canopies for plazas at either end of the building, bench replacement, additional bike racks, a renovated waiting area and restrooms, and a renovated drivers' lounge.[11][13] In February 2020, Star Tribune insinuated that a police substation would be added to the existing building, but there are no plans to construct police facilities.[13] The renovation is expected to be complete late 2020.[11]
