When a rider on Route 19 needed medical assistance, MCTS Operator Nakia H. acted fast, contacting dispatch so help could arrive right away.

Thank you, Nakia H., for your quick thinking, professionalism, and commitment to passenger safety!

If dogs could plan a bus route… 🐶 what would they name their stop?

And here’s a fun #TakeYourDogToWorkDay reminder: Did you know you can bring your dog on MCTS buses? Just make sure they’re in a crate or carrier that fits safely on your lap.

Fur real. 🐶

@MKEBusPerson CONNECT 1 is scheduled to run every 10 minutes on Saturdays during Summerfest. Can you share the approximate time, direction, and stop where you were waiting? That information will help us determine whether there was a delay or another issue affecting service. Thank you.

@MKEBusPerson We're sorry to hear you had issues. Can you please let us know the specific bus, location and time you were having issues so we can look into this? Thank you.

When MCTS Operator Therman C. saw an individual using a mobility device get stuck in a pothole while crossing the street, he didn't hesitate. After notifying Dispatch, Therman safely helped the person out of the pothole so they could continue to their destination. #MCTSExcellence

While driving the CONNECT 1, MCTS Operator Alfonso noticed a person who is blind needed help crossing the street to board another bus. He safely guided the rider & made sure they were settled before returning to service.

Thanks for going above & beyond, Alfonso!

POV: You're four years old and every bus ride is an adventure.

Sometimes it takes seeing things through the eyes of a child to remind us that public transit isn’t just about getting somewhere. It’s about discovering what’s along the way. 🚌✨

If enough storm energy builds back into the area, widespread and potentially significant severe wx would be possible. Heavy downpours in storms could lead to flooding potential, with a Flood Watch now in effect across all of southern WI. Have multiple ways to receive warning info

[NWS Milwaukee @NWSMilwaukee]

Continue to watch mainly sub-severe storms over far southeast WI through 2 PM, with more redevelopment possible during the 2-7 PM timeframe. How many storms redevelop, and how severe they become, depends on how much storm energy can make it back into the area behind AM precip.

Thanks to @cityofmilwaukee for hosting yesterday's Vision Zero Summit!

Our CONNECT 1 tour was a highlight, giving attendees a firsthand look at how BRT supports safer, more connected transportation.

We appreciate everyone who stopped by our table, bus or joined our tour. 🚌

A line of thunderstorms is moving east across southern Wisconsin late this evening. Wind gusts up to 40 mph is possible with the strongest storms. This activity should push out over Lake Michigan around 2 AM. No sever weather is expected overnight. #swiwx #wiwx

One moment of awareness made all the difference.

Thanks to MCTS Operator Yanitza R., a runaway 14-year-old girl in distress is now safe.
