Bus Service Notice from MCTS:

Until further notice, MCTS has suspended fare collection and noted that riders must enter and exit the bus through the back door only, unless they need assistance with a mobility device or other ADA accommodation.  Suspending fare collection limits the interaction between passengers and bus drivers during the COVID-19 pandemic.  
Refer to the attached link for more information:  https://www.ridemcts.com/about-mcts/covid-19

As part of its ongoing response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) is reducing the amount of bus service offered on weekdays - while ensuring that people can still get to essential jobs and critical destinations.

Until further notice, buses that operate Mondays through Fridays will use a schedule that is similar to the one used by MCTS on Saturdays.  This adjustment means that Freeway Flyers - including Route 143 - Ozaukee County Express - will not be operating.  Weekend schedules remain unchanged with one exception: Route 137 will not operate to the House of Correction.
