Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems are becoming the modern way to travel using public transit. In Milwaukee, Wis., the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) launched the CONNECT 1 BRT system in June. The BRT travels alongside a nine-mile route, providing service from downtown Milwaukee to the city of Wauwatosa. The BRT features 33 bus platforms on its route. The process of designing and constructing the BRT project took almost seven years. When the concept was first brought up in 2016, Milwaukee County supervisors wanted to see a modern transit system that used electric buses to transport Milwaukee residents from point A to point B. |
