Monona Express

Monona Express was a provider of public transportation with commuter bus service between Monona and Madison, Wisconsin. Following a decline in ridership seen after the COVID-19 pandemic,^[1] the city started studying whether to discontinue the service in favor of switching to Madison Metro Transit.^[2][3][4] In December 2023 the Monona city council elected to join the Metro Transit network and wind down the Monona Express service. Monona is now served by Metro route 38 along with stops on the "G" and "L" routes which travel on Monona Dr.^[5][6] This new service began on March 3, 2025.^[7]
