Regular Bus Routes

Metro Ride operates 7 bus routes in the City of Wausau which run at 30-minute intervals.  Passengers can transfer between routes at the Metro Ride Transit Center, which is located at 555 Jefferson Street in downtown Wausau, one block from the Wausau Center Mall. For further information, please refer to our Bus Route Map, or our Regular Route Schedules.

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 further information, please refer to our 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.  Free transfers are available on all routes.  Just ask the driver for a transfer when you pay your fare.  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.
