As of today, Feb. 3, Madison Metro riders can expect to pay a little bit more at the bus stop.

A decision stemming from a Dec. 12 meeting of the Transit and Parking Commission determined the cost for all fares is increasing between 8 to 13 percent. The goal of the increase is to help reduce the overcrowding and scheduling issues of current lines.

The Bus Stops Here: We need a snow emergency plan

by Susan DeVos | 12/30/2012 - 9:24pm

Madison’s Metro Transit needs a skeletal snow emergency plan. Our winters are harsh; we can have excessive snowfalls, and conditions are not always amenable to a “business as usual” format. So despite all our technology, there are simply times when we need a contingency plan, as during the recent blizzard of Thursday, Dec. 20. Fortunately, Wisconsin’s governor declared a state of emergency that day so all government offices, schools, and other enterprises uniformly shut down.
