Our Public Services

Schmitty & Sons provides full-service public transportation for the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), offering local and express bus routes to key areas in the southern metro. MVTA serves the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, and Rosemount in Dakota County, as well as Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake in Scott County. Riders depend on MVTA for daily commutes to Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Mall of America. Our professional drivers and support staff work hard to keep service clean, dependable, and running on time for thousands of Minnesotans each day.

We proudly operate both fixed-route buses and Metro Micro service on behalf of Metropolitan Council, serving communities throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding metro area. Our large transit buses provide essential fixed-route service across busy urban corridors, connecting people to work, school, and everyday destinations. Meanwhile, Metro Micro offers flexible, on-demand rides booked through a mobile app. Whether you’re taking a traditional bus or a Micro vehicle, Schmitty & Sons is helping keep public transit efficient, responsive, and rider-focused across the Twin Cities.
