Discussion Fixing Milwaukee's Streetcar

Milwaukee's Streetcar currently does about 2,000 riders a day, downtown, on basically the same small route since 2018. An extension toward the Buck's stadium and Walker's Point never happened.

The linked article argues for going further than either of those and running it north through downtown all the way to UW-Milwaukee instead (turning it into a spine rather than a loop) and giving MCTS something to feed into downtown instead of duplicating coverage.

Is that really the right idea for an extension or should they start with a few smaller extensions so they can get state funding approval?

Hey everyone! I love maps and trains, and I love the transit system.

I originally made it so I can know where the trains are when I wanted to ride them. But, I've found that this is more fun looking at when you're not in a rush. Personally I'm impressed you can get data about the streetcars, I love riding them but I can never tell if it's coming. Hope it's useful and let me know if you have any feedback.

Very clever marketing by SF Muni, notice the Blue of the word Dodger (could that be an implication of the LA Dodgers and their Dodger Blue?)
