Single-ride fares on normal routes don't rise, but passes and ticket strips go up on Jan. 4. |

I admit that I don't ride the bus anymore. But for years I rode it numerous times a day, so I can relate -- at least a bit -- to the bus-riding community.
But, frankly, it's been so long since I've bought a weekly bus pass to get to and from UWM from my Walker's Point home or rode the Freeway Flyer Downtown from my later South Milwaukee home, that I can't really tell you what any of that costs.
It's moot anyway, since the rates change again on Sunday, Jan. 4.
Although the adult cash fare per ride is still $2 ($1 for seniors, children and the disabled), rates on passes, ticket strips and Freeway Flyer fares all go up (ticket strips for seniors, kids and the disabled do not rise).
Weekly passes and strips of 10 tickets go up .50 and are now $16.50. A Flyer ride rises a quater to $3 and a strip of 10 Flyer tickets goes to to $22.50.
The newprice tickets went on sale on New Year's Eve. If you have old tickets you can use them but you can't exchange them.
MCTS also recently announced that a $60 monthly pass will be unveiled in February.

The Commuter Value Pass is by far the best deal and the easiest to use. http://www.ridemcts.com/fares/index.asp?id=616 If you work for a company where your offices are located near several bus routes where at least 20 employees can get to work via the bus, this option is a no brainer. Talk to your employer about it.
