Record crowds strain Minnesota State Fair shuttles as Metro Transit adds capacity

TL;DR Summary
Record-breaking crowds at the Minnesota State Fair strained shuttle service, with long lines and full park-and-ride lots as attendees returned home; Metro Transit says it is adding resources and adjusting routes to move people faster, noting two delays from sick passengers requiring cleaning at Blaine and a detour stemming from an I-94 crash, and that service will be adapted to resume normal operations.
