CONCEPT SITE: a preview of how the service could work
Why It's Built This Way
Hubs where lines meet
- Heated Longevity Hubs (the NORTH, CENTRAL and SOUTH Longevity Hubs and the West Gateway Longevity Hub) are where lines meet, with frequent buses so transfers are short.
- No more forced trip downtown just to change buses.
Frequency first, then vans for coverage
- A few strong lines that come often, so you never need a schedule: T1 Taylor, T2 14th Street, T3 8th Street and T4 Kohler-Falls.
- Five east-west crossovers (X1 Geele, X2 Superior, X3 Indiana, X4 Union and X5 Washington) link every line to the lake side.
- On-demand vans cover everything in between, door to stop, plus all night from 12:30 to 5 a.m.
Fare-free
- No fares, no passes, no cards. It's simpler, faster and fair.
E-bikes for the last mile
- E-bikes and adaptive e-trikes wait at every Hub and at key stops, so the last few blocks are easy.
Must-serve places
- Hospitals and clinics, grocery stores, schools and LTC.
- Parks: Evergreen, Quarry, Maywood and the lakefront.
- Job centers, shopping (Deer Trace, Woodlake) and Kohler-Andrae State Park in season.
The whole county
- One network: Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls, Kohler, Plymouth and the villages, all booked in the same app.
Onto the real grid
- The Lakeshore Link runs every day to Brown Deer, connecting to Milwaukee buses, the airport and Amtrak.
- Next step, Phase 9 / proposed: links to Plymouth and Fond du Lac (WI-23) and Manitowoc.
- Sheboygan stops being an island.
