The Minnesota Lynx's season is on the line tonight when they take on the Seattle Storm in game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal at Target Center. Game time is 8 p.m.

Metro Transit will offer ticketholders for tonight's game free rides on buses and the Hiawatha Light Rail starting two hours before tipoff and up to two hours after the final buzzer. The offer is not good on the NorthStar Commuter line.

Metro Transit and the Lynx have had this offer all season, and spokesman bus company Bruce Howard said about 8 to 10 percent fans heading to games have taken advantage.

He is expecting 800 to 900 fans to use the service for tonight's game.

Once catch, you must show your ticket to the driver or to police checking riders on the light rail. This is not a case where you can ride the bus to Target Center and buy a ticket at the box office.
