Transit is a great way to get into Downtown Minneapolis without paying for parking or driving through downtown.
You can drive to a park and ride, leave your car behind and catch the next bus or train.
Just remember that there's no overnight parking at a park-and-ride.
CONvergence even has free ride passes available for Friday and Saturday.
Metro Transit has a great app and website that helps you find the buses and routes you need
to get to and from the Hyatt Regency.
Please do not bring any prop or costume weapons on Metro Transit vehicles.
If these are a part of your costume, have a friend bring them for you separately or drop them off at the Hyatt Regency beforehand.
People might be curious about your costume.
This is a great chance to tell them about it and about CONvergence.
If you have any questions about your ride, the Metro Transit drivers and other employees are happy to help you.
Unlike the light rail, buses only stop when someone needs to get off.
Make sure you pull the yellow cord to signal that your stop is approaching.
The light rail is a fast and smooth way to get in and out of downtown Minneapolis.
There are park and ride lots available at some light rail stations too.
Just buy a ticket and show it to the Metro Transit staff when they ask for it.
The light rail will get you within about seven blocks of the Hyatt Regency.
If that's too far to walk, you can hop on one of the free busses on Nicollet Mall.
Or use the transfer from your previous ride to get on any bus.
The free buses have a sign that says Free Bus on them.
You can find when the next bus is coming on the app!
The free buses are a great way to explore the food and entertainment options that are around the Hyatt Regency.
