1977: Half hour by car from Osseo into downtown Minneapolis.
1977: Twenty minutes by bus from Saint Louis Park (an inner-ring suburb) into downtown Minneapolis.
1979: Fifteen minutes by car from Saint Louis Park to Saint Paul.
1981: Twelve minutes by car from South Minneapolis to downtown Saint Paul.
1985: Ten minutes by car from South Minneapolis to South Minneapolis.
