Hope it's okay if I Hop (lmao) onto this post to expand upon one of my favorite cities in the country. MKE, like many US cities, used to have a pretty extensive streetcar network that was torn up from lobbyist pressure, and they really screwed themselves for it. A lot of streetcar lines were replaced with bus routes, which are still some of the most used to this day- if you compare this poster I created of then/now streetcar lines to this map of current bus lines (blue is the most used, red is likely to be cut in 2025 due to MCTS having financial problems) you can see a TON of overlaps. Some bus lines even carry the same route numbers and colors of their predecessors.

The Hop (existing streetcar line) is unfortunately pretty unusable because it was built off the back of corporate interest. It connects the Amtrak station to downtown, which isn't entirely a BAD thing on its own. However, even being totally free, ridership is low because it doesn't GO anywhere where residents of the city want to go, and is slower than basically every other option because it gets EXTREMELY stuck in traffic. I went to school within range of the Hop and knew extremely few people who EVER used it. And those who did would often end up late to class because of it. All to say it's in a real sorry state right now, and that bums me out. They are planning a few extensions despite city financial troubles, and I hope that improves things

In brighter transit though, Milwaukee opened its first BRT line this year! It's not perfect, I wish the bus only lanes extended the whole length, and I haven't had the chance to try it for myself just yet, but I'm glad it got built at all.

I guess the point of this is that there are people in Milwaukee who care and want to make things better, and in my opinion I think there'e a lot of potential! So people from the area gotta get excited about transit, rope in their friends and loved ones, and make sure to pressure your politicians to secure funding for transit!!

Bonus rambling: Steps I would love to see personally, as a limitedly informed layperson. 1) I think the streetcar should focus on a UWM connection, as that is a HUGE population of non driving students, and would give access to a LOT of residential area. 2) AFTER that, getting the Hop to go all the way to the Summerfest grounds is a NO BRAINER to me. The Fiserv Forum is another place it would make a lot of sense to expand to. 3) This is only tangentially related but Brady Street should be pedestrianized!!! It would be an excellent way to encourage use of transit, and it would make an already cool spot into one of the best places in the city!

The upper midwest could easily become as interconnected as the Northeast, Lets explore what steps are needed to do that.

I am defining the upper midwest as Northern Illinois and Indiana, alongside Wisconsin and Minnesota. So the Major cities we are looking at are Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Duluth, and Chicago

I'm so happy that this exists

I'm aware that the translation really isn't the best and the Trigun-Overhaul version will forever be my true version of the story 🩷 but it just hits different when you actually have the gorgeous art layed out to you like this for the first time.

I'm so happy!!!! The first 3 volumes of Trimax are so close to my heart Ahhgegxjxj
