MCTS said over 70,000 riders have downloaded the app. The app uses a person's location to automatically help them ride the local transportation system. Riders can find the app by typing 'Umo Mobility' in their app store. It also provides real-time tracking of buses in Milwaukee County. The Umo Mobility app - which replaced the Ride MCTS app in early 2022 - connects to other modes of transportation like Uber, Lyft, Bublr Bikes and Bird and Lime scooters. The new technology has other benefits, MCTS said. Debit and credit card users will also see their fares capped. 30.īy the end of 2023, riders will be able to tap a debit or credit card instead of using the app or WisGo card, Hosch said. 30, and the card will no longer be valid as of Sept. Riders will not be able to store value on an M-Card starting Aug. Previously, there was a 36-hour waiting period. The new system will also allow for immediate deposits.

After that, there will be a $2 charge for the card. WisGo cards will be free through June 30. The cards will be available at more than 200 locations - primarily in low-income areas of Milwaukee - beginning in April.

But the new WisGo cards can be purchased with cash, allowing those who don't have access to a credit card or debit card to benefit from fare-capping. Riders paying with cash directly on the bus will not see their fare capped because there is no way to track those payments. People who already use long-term transit passes will automatically be enrolled in WisGo.
