Good news for Metro bus riders downtown: Buses will be returning to Capitol Square on Sunday, Nov. 9.
Buses have been using the “loop route” a block off the square since early summer because of ongoing bus shelter construction on the four streets around the Capitol: Mifflin, Pinckney, Main and Carroll. The loop route uses Dayton, Webster, Doty and Fairchild streets.
UW-Madison homecoming events on Friday will force four Metro routes commonly using the loop route to take alternate streets away from State and Lake streets.
