Express Bus Routes
Metro Ride provides express bus routes during the school year to alleviate crowding on regular routes. Most of these routes are designed to "express" passengers to their destination by eliminating the need to transfer downtown. All express routes are open to the general public. For additional information, please refer to the Express Route Guide.
Transferring between Routes
When your trip requires the use of more than one route, you will need to ask the driver for a transfer when you pay your fare. Free transfers are available on all routes. A transfer entitles you to transfer to any other route in order to get to your destination. Passengers can transfer between routes at the Metro Ride Transit Center in downtown Wausau. A transfer must be used no later than one trip after it is issued. A transfer must be used to continue your trip on a different route. Transfers cannot be used for a return trip on the route on which the transfer was issued. A transfer is not a round-trip ticket.
