The city’s bus rapid transit service will be the second BRT system in Wisconsin.

The city of Madison is close to completing Wisconsin’s second bus rapid transit project, joining Milwaukee County, reports Sarah Lehr for Wisconsin Public Radio.
The Madison line, known as Rapid Route A, will extend 15 miles from west Madison to a suburb in the city’s northeast. “We know that our unique geography of being on an isthmus just simply can't support more folks driving alone in their cars, and it's critical that we make transit a viable opportunity for everyone in our community,” said Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway.
“Madison officials expect to cover the project's estimated $194 million cost through a combination of federal grants and local funding. That includes a $110 million to help build the east-west line from a Federal Transit Authority grant.” The system’s 46 electric buses will begin arriving in the city next month.
