Metro Ride to Lift Bus Capacity Limits By Liz Holbrook Apr 15, 2021 6:58 PM WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Bus riders in Wausau won’t have to potentially wait at the bus stop for longer than a route anymore. Thursday afternoon the Wausau Transit Commission narrowly voted to lift the bus capacity limits for Metro Ride buses. Before the meeting buses were only able to carry 15 riders at one time. Transit Director Greg Seubert requested the capacity limit be lifted as buses have been near or slightly above capacity limits most days, especially during the routes taking kids to and from school. “And we are on occasion stranding passengers. This primarily happens to school and from school and this generally involves students. And this is not to say that we are inundated with large crowds. We are just somewhat exceeding our current capacity limits,”.
