The METRO Purple Line, formerly known as the Rush Line Corridor, is a proposed bus rapid transit service that would run from Union Depot in downtown Saint Paul to the northeastern suburbs of Saint Paul.

The corridor was named the Rush Line because it was originally planned to end in Rush City, Minnesota.
