MCTS Freeway Flyers resumes with updated schedules
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee County Transit System Freeway Flyer routes (Routes 40, 43, 44, 46, 48, 49, 79, & 143) resumed service, with schedule adjustments, on Monday, Aug. 30.
Freeway Flyers, which are buses that operate primarily between Park & Ride lots and downtown Milwaukee on weekday mornings and afternoons, were suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic when many downtown businesses shut down in-person activity and transitioned to remote work — reducing the demand for commuter buses.
