The Milwaukee County Transit System could be adding a bus rapid transit line to the existing PurpleLine.
Jeramey Jannene and Graham Kilmer report on an ongoing transit planning effort for the Milwaukee County Transit System, with support from Milwaukee County and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) :
Milwaukee County continues to advance a potential high-capacity mass transit line in the 27th Street corridor. A final route could measure up to 23 miles in length and cost $177 million.
The most recent North-South Transit Enhancement project recommends a bus rapid transit line for the corridor.
