MCTS to continue offering free rides on CONNECT 1 BRT line into early 2024
Sept. 20, 2023
MCTS and its fare payment service provider, Umo Mobility, agreed to extend the program into 2024 due to a supply chain delay pushing back the pre-board fare equipment.
Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) riders will still be offered free rides on the CONNECT 1 BRT line into early 2024 after the agency and its fare payment service provider, Umo Mobility, agreed to extend the program.
Riders can continue to explore the regional, nine-mile route that reaches major employers, education, recreation and medical destinations at no cost. One of the new features of the BRT is pre-board payment. Due to a supply chain delay, the pre-board fare equipment will not be ready as planned this fall.
MCTS will announce the timeline when WisGo pre-board fare collection will begin on the BRT sometime in early 2024.
