NOTE: Route 15 buses takes a layover on the Northside and Route 52 buses takes a layover on the Southside. Where you will see Route 15 going one way and Route 52 going the other way. So this means the routes were changed on January 29, 2012 (last 4 years ago) when they changed from Oakland-Kinnicknnic to Holton-Kinnicknnic, So it has been there now ever since. Oakland-Kinnicknnic is now permily discontinued with the new Route 15 buses now doing the Drexel via 5th Avenue tips for all buses. Route 15 backthen was first named Grange-Pennsylvania-15th Avenue branch. Backthen Route 15 headed N/S on Packard Avenue to Ladish Avenue, E/W on Ladish turns N/S on Whitnall to Grange Avenue, then E/W on Grange to Pennsylvania Avenue. Then after that Route 15 now became Clement-Pennsylvania-15th Avenue branch.

Service from Humboldt & Keefe to Hampton & Santa Monica replaced by Route 24 in March 1980.


Route 102 operated from the Mill Road Transit Center to the Bradley Woods industrial park area from January 1992, until the route was replaced with a rush-hour extension of route 23 in March 2004.

This is an incomplete list of MCTS routes that had been modified or discontinued over the years. It will be updated when data became available and route maps maybe added.
