MOVE 2025: Your Ride. Your Choice.

Creating new connections to major destinations will move more people to jobs, school, and life. Making transfer opportunities convenient for riders also makes our system more efficient. 

“When Route 14 was split it changed my work commute from 2 buses to 4 buses making my commute longer with more time waiting outside right at the start of winter. Any change that minimizes that is welcome.” - Route 14 Rider 

Anything connecting the 15 line to the western without having to ride north first would be wonderful. My rides would more than double if I could more quickly and easily get from South Milwaukee to Drexel Town Square, the Domes, Froedtert, etc. If Drexel had a streetcar, I would use it every day.” - Route 15 Rider

When buses come frequently, riders can put less effort into planning their trip, have shorter wait times when transferring between routes, and experience overall shorter travel time. 

"I frequently travel from where I live and work near Washington Park to the Intermodal Station for train and bus travel in and out of state. I would appreciate higher bus frequency.” - Route 57 Rider 

“I take 63 every day to get to and from work and buses do not come as frequent as they should. It would help a lot if more buses were added.” – Route 63 Rider 

• Route 57 buses come more often 

• Route 63 buses come more often 

Riders prefer direct routing over branched routing where possible. This makes it easier to understand where a bus is going. More direct routing gets you where you need to go faster, saving money and time.   

“It’s hard to know which bus to get on when the route branches. Riders also have to sit through a layover when taking the BlueLine south from Park Place.” – BlueLine Rider 

“It’s hard to know where to stand with constant detours in downtown”- Route 19 Rider 

• Route 19 shifted to McKinley Avenue between MLK Drive and 6th Street 

• Route 19 ends at Zellman Court and a new route takes over Oak Creek service 

• Route 28 serves Hampton Avenue and Lovers Lane in both directions 

• RedLine shifted to Oakland Avenue between Capitol Drive and UWM

To make the best use of our resources, we will move service where ridership is low, to areas where more service is needed. This helps MCTS adapt to meet ridership needs while living within our means. 

“If reducing this route means better headways on some other route, either making it 15 minutes or even less than 10 (ideally), then I am in favor of this.” -Route 58 Rider 

“I like the idea of the proposed 59 bus route which would eliminate the need for the purple line to make trips to IKEA.” - Oak Creek Meeting Attendee
