Winter Changes - December 1, 2024
Starting Sunday, December 1st, we’re making adjustments to the schedules to improve reliability, and increase the efficiency of service on multiple routes. The timetable changes were based on feedback from riders and bus operators. Additionally, several routes will return to their normal routings after the completion of long term road construction.

New Transit Enhancements
In partnership with Milwaukee County Parks, MCTS installed a bus shelter at the Kelly Senior Center in Cudahy. The stop at the Kelly Senior Center is the eastern terminus of Routes 52 and 55. The new shelter provides a comfortable waiting area for passengers looking to transfer between routes and seniors accessing activities and services at the Kelly Senior Center.
