List of Metro (Minnesota) light rail stations

 * ... that Minneapolis–Saint Paul's Metro system (train pictured) provided 23 million rides across its 37 light rail stations in 2016?

 * Comment: * Sources: 23 million rides in 2016 in article: "In 2016, the Blue and Green lines respectively provided approximately 10.3 million and 12.7 million rides for a total of 23 million rides across both lines." from source: "Ridership on the Green Line LRT, which links the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul, increased 2.5 percent to 12.7 million rides." and "However, Metro Transit said ridership on the Blue Line LRT, which connects Target Field in downtown Minneapolis to the Mall of America in Bloomington, slipped from about 10.6 million rides in 2015 to nearly 10.3 million last year."
 * 37 stations in article: "The light rail portion of the network, managed by Metro Transit, consists of 37 light rail stations in operation across two lines" from source: countable on map.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Moved from userspace to mainspace on 20th July.  The prose length is sufficient @ >3,000 bytes.  All sentences are suitably referenced to sources of good quality: the sort of sources I would expect on a list of this nature, having worked on one myself in the past (government stats, newspaper reports, company "factsheets" etc.).  I have spot-checked most sources and have found no errors of fact or interpretation in the article.  The 23 million figure in the hook fact is derived per WP:CALC, which is fine.  Suggested pic is OK and is properly licensed; could it perhaps be cropped to where the man is kneeling?  Happy to mark this as good to go.   Hassocks  5489 (Floreat Hova!)  19:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
