Posted
and last updated

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee County Transit System announced Friday that they would be limiting weekday services beginning Monday.

According to MCTS, the day-to-day services will now look more like the Saturday services.

In a news release, MCTS said, "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."

Riders can look at the MCTS app, RideMCTS.com, and Google Maps to see the updated schedules and routes.

This news comes as more and more restaurants and bars are closing due to the coronavirus pandemic. With fewer people working, there are less riders; therefore, fewer buses are needed on the roads.
