Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) bus

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) launched on Wednesday, Jan. 15 a new initiative called MOVE 2025. It is aimed at collecting rider feedback to help shape bus routes for fall 2025. Officials say this effort will guide decisions on whether certain routes should have higher frequencies, more or less coverage, or stay the same.

Planning bus routes for 2025

What we know:

Riders are encouraged to provide input on how MCTS can adapt its services to better meet their changing needs. 

MCTS wants to hear from riders directly. Feedback can be submitted through an online survey, visiting RideMCTS.com/MOVE to comment on interactive maps, or by attending one of five public meetings across the county. Riders have until Feb. 10 to weigh in.
