Public Rides Data

Part of the network This covers MCTS's countywide bus network, including the CONNECT 1 bus rapid transit line and the GreenLine airport route the Milwaukee guide points riders to. The Hop, the free downtown streetcar, isn't included: it publishes hours and frequency but no timetable data a rider's app can read.
