Question about bus timings during U of M semester from Uptown

I'm moving to Minneapolis to be a graduate student at the U of M this Fall and found some nice places in Uptown. However, it seems a bit far away from the U of M, but I've seen many people talk about the express buses. Looking at the express bus times right now online, they don't seem to run that often throughout the day, and I can't seem to figure out the timings during the regular semesters of the university. I'm posting to ask people about how often the 113, and the 114 run and during which time ranges during the semester. Thank you!

I take those express buses and yes, right now during summer breaks they only run a few (it’s more for the staff). During the semester though they run pretty often between 7-10 and 2-6

I was in the exact same spot as you a couple years back. The Express busses run every 20-ish minutes from like 6:30 - 9:30 AM and then again in the mid-afternoon. I believe that all of the Uptown stops are right along Hennepin Ave, so keep that in mind if you're gonna have to walk to get to the stops.

There is also an express bus that stops on lyndale, unless they have changed. Last time I took it was a couple of years ago.

The 113 on Lyndale stops running at like, 8:11, I believe, when school isn't in session. When it's in session, there are at least two other busses up through 9:40 running the express route. If you miss the express, you can also take the 4 (or 6 if you're on Hennepin) to downtown and connect with the Green Line or 3.

The 6 line might work for you. not an express but a hi frequency route that goes through uptown to the U. Also connects to the 2 line which goes to the U. 2 line being Another hi frequency route.

Right, when I check the 113 for example, it shows the current week times, not the future schedule. I was interested in the times during the afternoon. That question was answered, but I did not know of this website, so thank you!
