I-35W & 66th Street is a bus rapid transit station along the METRO Orange Line at 66th Street in Richfield, Minnesota along I-35W.[1] Route 535, predecessor to the Orange Line, began using the stop in 2000 when the current interchange was built. Standard bus shelters were on the diamond interchange ramps, serving Route 535 along the highway and Routes 515 and 538 along 66th Street.[citation needed] For bus rapid transit service, the original stops were replaced with new stations with Go-To card readers and ticket vending machines for off-board fare collection, real-time bus arrival signage, tactile warning strips and near-level boarding, and pylon for station and METRO identification, among other amenities.[2] The station opened December 4, 2021 with the rest of the Orange Line.
