Molly Duepner wears a bright green scarf and a jean jacket while she waits for her ride to the Twin Cities. Except this time, she and her duffel bag won't be in a crowded backseat with music blaring and a buried speedometer.
She's taking advantage of the new Jefferson coach bus service offered at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The program, called "College Connection," is offering people on campus, and in the community, a ride to the cities on a daily basis. The stops on the other end include the St. Paul bus depot, the Amtrak station, the University of Minnesota Coffman Union and the Minneapolis bus depot. Other quick rural stops are made along Interstate 35.
