For the next six months at least, you can enjoy a Sunday ride to nowhere on the Hop.

Excited to take a ride on the new line (even if it goes nowhere for the time being lol). I hope once it is actually complete, it sees success

I'm hoping that finishing the lakefront line allows them to start building momentum for a third line. (Maybe from the intermodal station to the convention center or MATC?)

@steinbring How has ridership been on the light rail in Milwaukee? It was not done when I moved away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's pretty good.

August 2023 ridership was down from July 2023 (65,749) and June 2023 (50,293), but up from August 2022 (40,319). July 2023 ridership was that darn streetcar’s highest ridership since September 2019.
