Brooklyn Center Transit Center (BCTC) is a transit center in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Owned and operated by Metro Transit, it is one of the busiest single boarding locations in the Twin Cities. The transit center is not a park and ride, but provides free 10-minute parking and free outdoor bike racks.[2] June 8, 2019 Metro Transit's second bus rapid transit line, the Metro C Line, opened with Brooklyn Center Transit Center as the line's northern terminus.[3][4] The Metro D Line opened in December 2022, also using the center as its northern terminus. The transit center opened December 4, 2004 and cost $1.9 million.[5] Before opening of the C Line, charging stations were installed for end-of-the-line charging of 8 battery electric buses used on the C Line and D Line.[6]
