The Express route is a commuter service running between Monona and downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus area. No stops are made between the Monona city limits and the downtown Madison area. This service operates during the mornings, late afternoons, and evening. The Lift route is equipped with a disabled accessible vehicle and is designed to meet the needs of the elderly and disabled as well as the general public. Service is provided on a scheduled route basis with designated Monona bus stops. In addition, passengers with special needs may prearrange individualized rides to and from specific locations by placing an advance reservation.
