The 28th Avenue light rail and bus station is on the Blue Line and Red Line in the Twin Cities region of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The station opened with the Blue Line light rail on December 4, 2004 and the Red Line began service at the station on June 22, 2013. It has a 1,443-space park and ride facility. The south parking lot was closed for construction of a 1,443 space parking ramp, which opened in Fall 2008.

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.

Bus connections

From 28th Avenue Station, there is a direct bus connection to Route 54 which goes to downtown Saint Paul.
