Hourcar, Waymo, Green Line changes shaping the future of Twin Cities transportation

The options for getting around the Twin Cities without your own car are shifting. A car-sharing service that gave people an alternative to owning a vehicle shut down this month. Meanwhile, Minneapolis and St. Paul are wrestling with whether to allow driverless taxis. And the long-awaited Green Line extension is expected to open next summer after years-long delays. Bill Lindeke is an urban studies lecturer at the University of Minnesota and a longtime observer of transportation in the Twin Cities. He joined MPR News to explain what the changes mean for the future of transportation in the metro.
