The Milwaukee County Transit System isn't able to provide shuttle service this year, so local bar shuttles are expected to take their place, the company said.
However, Milwaukee County's paratransit service Transit Plus partnered with Summerfest to provide rides for eligible patrons, the company said. People can call First Transit at (414) 817-9860 or Transit Express (414) 264-7433 to schedule service.

“Our fans have asked for bus shuttle service, and we are happy to be able to provide and subsidize this convenient option again this year for the community,” Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. president Don Smiley said in a statement.
All bus shuttle passengers will receive a wristband when they reach the Summerfest grounds, and will be required to show their wristband when they get back the bus to the park and ride lot, the company said. If a rider doesn't have their wristband after leaving the festival, they can buy one for a full price fare, if space is available.
Riders can go to Summerfest's website to purchase tickets.
