Starting this weekend the Milwaukee County Transit System will shorten some routes at the edges of its ridership area. Riders will also need to wait longer for their buses at some stops. 

That’s because the Milwaukee County Transit System reduced service to some routes to help deal with a 14 million dollar budget deficit. You may remember that bus fares went up by 75 cents at the beginning of this year. To learn more about these most recent changes, WUWM education reporter Katherine Kokal is joined by Jesus Ochoa, the system’s Director of Service Development.
