New Fare Collection System Timeline

• February 2023-TodayIf you haven’t already, download the Umo app.
• March 2023Validators are available on buses for Umo mobile app users starting in early March. The Umo app’s full functionality means that the temporary 105-minute and all-day fare options will be removed as riders can now store value on the app. All users will be able to enjoy fare capping through the app.
• April 2023The new fare structure fully launches in April. Validators will take WisGo cards, in addition to the Umo app. Riders can purchase WisGo cards in April at nearly 100 locations including Community Financial, or reload existing WisGo cards at over 100 local retailers—including supermarkets, pharmacies and convenience stores such as Walgreens, Speedway & Dollar General. Some retail locations do both, such as El Rey. M-Card users can turn in their cards for a free WisGo card April through June. WisGo Bus Ambassadors will help riders download the app or get a WisGo card at key locales around the county. Reduced fare riders will receive their new WisGo cards via mail.
• June 2023New cards are free until June 30. Afterwards, regular fare WisGo cards cost $2. MCTS CONNECT BRT service starts on June 4. Riders must pay their fare before boarding and then enter through either the front or back doors of the bus.     
• August 2023Remember, you can no longer load value on your M-Card. 
• September 2023M-Card will no longer be valid on the bus. Ride with the Umo app, your WisGo card or cash.​​
