The Hop Returns to Regular M-Line and L-Line Service Aug. 11
Milwaukee – The Hop, presented by Potawatomi Casino Hotel, will return to regular M-Line and L-Line service beginning Sunday, Aug. 11. The streetcar system had been operating its combined “Festivals Line” throughout the summer months to better accommodate passengers accessing the multitude of summer events held along Milwaukee’s
lakefront.
“The combined Festivals Line was a wonderful pilot program that brought a number of benefits to our riders, particularly with so many new riders looking to access the Lakefront and not being familiar with the newer L-Line and need to transfer,” Milwaukee Commissioner of Public Works Jerrel Kruschke said. “We’ve learned a lot over the last few months and will continue to evaluate how we can best serve our riders during peak times, whether they are looking to access the Lakefront or not.”
Beginning Aug. 11, The Hop will once again operate the M-Line and L-Line independently, with three cars serving the M-Line during peak hours and one car dedicated to the L-Line. Service will continue to be provided during the system’s regular hours of operation from 5 a.m. to midnight Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to midnight Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
More information regarding the newer L-Line, including a “How to Ride” explainer video, an FAQ document, service timetable, and more, is at www.thehopmke.com/l-line.
