People who Dump the Pump can save thousands of dollars each year. Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) will join with other public transportation systems nationwide participating in the seventh annual National Dump the Pump on Thursday, June 21, and encourages everyone to join in.
On this day representatives of MCTS will ride a few MetroEXpress GreenLine (Bayshore-Airport) buses to thank customers for using public transportation and for Dumping the Pump for Transit.
