The E Line would largely replace Route 6 which carries 9,000 trips each weekday.

In 2019 planning and design were underway, with construction slated for 2023 and operations beginning a year later but that timeline has been moved back. The route will have "train-like" features to speed up service and improve reliability, such as signal priority, bus lanes, all-door boarding, further stop spacing, and specialized vehicles. Running mostly on France Avenue, Hennepin Avenue, and University Avenue, the line will serve major destinations such as Southdale Center, Fairview Hospital, 50th & France, Linden Hills, Uptown, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Downtown Minneapolis, Dinkytown, the University of Minnesota, and Prospect Park. The route will operate from Southdale Center Transit Center in Edina, Minnesota to Westgate station in St. The Metro E Line is a planned bus rapid transit route in Minneapolis, St.
