Metropolitan Council Regional Routes

Metropolitan Council Regional Routes is a collection of bus routes that are planned by Metro Transit but are contracted out to other operators. The most common contractors are First Student, MV Transportation, and Lorenz. These routes generally operate far from the Metro Transit garages, have lower-riderships, and use smaller buses. Some of these routes have a separate branding such as BE Line, Anoka County Traveler, and Brooklyn Circuit.

Famous quotes containing the words metropolitan, council and/or routes:

    “In metropolitan cases, the love of the most single-eyed lover, almost invariably, is nothing more than the ultimate settling of innumerable wandering glances upon some one specific object.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
