Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There’s no need to worry about transportation at Marquette. Not only is the campus and surrounding area compact enough so that most destinations are within walking distance, but MU also supplies every student with a U-Pass at the start of each fall term. This pass allows unlimited, free bus transportation all over the Milwaukee area—the Milwaukee County Transit System provides transportation anywhere from down the street or out to the next city. Also, the University manages a system of student-driven van transports known as L.I.M.O.S. (Local Inter-campus Mobile Operation Service). It serves as an alternative method of transportation for students and travels anywhere within a 10-block radius of campus, which is especially useful during the winter months. But regardless of which method you choose for getting around, both services are free of charge and extremely valuable.

When getting around the immediate area, students definitely get good use out of the ever-so-popular Milwaukee County Transit System, Marquette’s own L.I.M.O. service, and taxi cabs, but students looking to get out of town have options, as well. The Greyhound bus, Amtrak train station, and the General Mitchell International Airport are all nearby. Whether you’re traveling near or far, it’s all cheap, easy, and convenient.

Getting Around MU & Milwaukee

Limos and DPS are willing to drive you ANYWHERE on campus. The Milwaukee County Transit System is also one of the best public transit systems in the country!

Transit Is Decent

Each MU student receives a Milwaukee County Transit System bus pass which allows unlimited rides on any MCTS bus. The bus system is pretty comprehensive, and I've found that the 30 or the 10 generally take me anywhere I need to go within the city. For people with Google Maps on their Android, the GPS feature will actually route your trip for you on transit in real-time!

Great During the Day

Public transportation is really good in Milwaukee. They are always on time, but they do not run after a serten time at night. So if you stay out you may need to take a cab.
