HOW DO I PAY FOR CONNECT 1?

There's a new way to ride the CONNECT 1. Riders must prepay and validate their fare at CONNECT stations using the Umo app, WisGo card, cash or credit card. Just follow these easy steps to pay, board & ride!

Prepay

 

Step 1
 

Person scanning phone on CONNECT validator

 

  • All along the CONNECT line, you'll see these validators that you'll use to pay before you board.
  • Scan your WisGo card or the Umo app on your phone and you're all set to board the bus.
  • All current WisGo fares apply ($2 regular fare/$1 reduced fare).
  • If you don't have a WisGo card or the Umo app, no problem! You can also prepay at the Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Once you have your ticket, simply walk to the other side of the TVM and swipe your ticket on the validator. 

Board
