Reduced fare riders will receive their WisGo cards via mail. WisGo cards can be purchased at nearly 100 locations beginning in April, and will be able to be reloaded at over 100 local retailers. During this time, riders will be able to use both their M-Cards and WisGo, but they are encouraged to use up their M-Card balances as soon as possible because the new BRT line, MCTS Connect, will not accept M-Cards. The Umo mobile app will be available in March, while the WisGo system will go live in April. The rollout of WisGo will occur in two phases. This eliminates the need for daily, weekly, or monthly passes. The more a rider uses the bus, the more they save. Regular fare riders will pay $2 per ride with a daily cap of $4, while reduced fare riders (seniors, children aged 6-11, and those with a qualifying disability) will pay $1 per ride with a daily cap of $2.įare capping works by calculating the lowest amount a rider owes for the day based on the number of rides taken. The fare structure is simple and straightforward. The new fare collection system, WisGo, is operated by San Diego-based tech firm Cubic, and offers riders the convenience of multiple payment options, including the Umo mobile app, credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, as well as WisGo cards.
Milwaukee County is set to revolutionize public transportation in the area with the introduction of fare capping this spring.
