I took the bus to Summerfest this year for the first time in many years. I was shocked at how smooth and efficient it was. Even with the chaos of thousands of people leaving after the Big Bang, we were able to get right on and moving very quickly. I will definitely be taking the bus to the Circus Parade next weekend.
IF YOU HAVEN’T TAKEN THE BUS BEFORE, IT IS WELL WORTH IT. NOT ONLY FOR THE $ YOU’LL SAVE ON PARKING, BUT FOR THE AGGRIVATION YOU SAVE YOURSELF!!!!
