But before you can embark on your daily chariot adventure, there's one crucial question: how much is this magical ride gonna cost?
Hold Your Horses (or Zebras, Because Milwaukee)
There's good news and, well, not-so-bad news. The bad news? Milwaukee doesn't offer traditional monthly bus passes anymore. Gasp! We know, we know, it can be a bit of a curveball. But fear not, intrepid rider, because Milwaukee's got a new system in place called WisGo and it's here to be your fare-faring friend.

- Reduced Fare: For seniors, students, and those with disabilities, each ride is just $1.00. Your daily max is $2.00, so ride on, champions!
So, How Much Does it Really Cost?

This is where it gets fun! Since WisGo is based on daily caps, the total cost depends on how often you ride. But let's say you're a daily rider who uses the bus for work and errands. At $4.00 a day, you're looking at a maximum of $120.00 a month. Not too shabby, right?
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
But Wait, There's More!
WisGo also has a monthly cap. That means even if you ride the bus like a human hamster on a wheel, there's a limit to how much you'll pay. We haven't been able to find anyone who's hit it yet, but hey, good to know it's there!
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
