Why Madison Buses are About to Change 🚌

from City Cast Madison · host City Cast

Starting June 11th, the Madison Metro bus system, as you know it, will change.  Metro bus routes, bus stops and bus numbers will be different. It’s all part of the plan to move people across town faster and make way for the new Bus Rapid Transit system. Madison hopes new express buses in dedicated lanes will make transit easier, faster, and more reliable. That’s coming next year. But first, they’re redesigning all of the regular bus routes. We talk to City of Madison transit planner Mike Chechvala about what’s happening very soon.  🚌 Learn all about the new routes here.  7 Basics of Bus Rapid Transit (PDF) Also on the show:  🧙🏽‍♀️ WisCon is this weekend Wanna talk to us about an episode?
