MCTS Surplus Powers Summer Route Fixes
from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Milwaukee’s transit system just got a major upgrade — and a financial win. After rolling out summer schedule changes affecting over 20 bus routes, MCTS is staring down a $500K budget surplus — a stunning turnaround from a projected $14M shortfall. Thanks to smarter route tweaks, reduced fare evasion, and clever use of contingency funds, riders are seeing midday service restored on four key routes and smoother schedules on 15 others. Even with ongoing I-94 construction causing delays, MCTS is deploying extra buses to keep things moving. This is a rare win for a transit agency without a dedicated funding source — and riders are already feeling the difference. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
