FAQs for booking bus tickets to Milwaukee

What amenities are offered on buses from Milwaukee?

Several different bus companies operate cheap buses from Milwaukee, including Greyhound and Jefferson Lines. Once you purchase your cheap bus tickets through momondo, you are in for a comfortable and eco-friendly ride. Most bus prices include air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, though signals may be lost in rural areas. Also, some buses have limited bandwidth, which restricts what you can stream and how many devices you can use. Often, the reclining seats are made of leather and have footrests. Some buses have extra legroom at every seat and no middle seat. Each seat usually has its own power outlet and its own overhead lighting and climate control. Some buses provide on-board entertainment—usually though an app—as well as panoramic windows with individual shades, and GPS bus-tracking software. Most cheap buses from Milwaukee run on clean-burning fuel.

How do I get to the bus station in Milwaukee?

Cheap buses depart Milwaukee from the Milwaukee Intermodal Station on West St. Paul Avenue. At this travel hub, you can catch local, regional, and cross-country buses as well as regional and cross-county trains, and a street car. Local buses 12 and 57 can take you directly to the station. The HOP Street Car connects the station with downtown, the lower east side, and the historic Third Ward district. More expensive options to get from throughout Milwaukee to the Intermodal Station are taxis, Lyft, Uber, and Bublr bikes—city bikes parked throughout Milwaukee that you can rent with an app on your phone and leave at the station once you arrive.

What luggage can I bring on a bus from Milwaukee?

Most buses from Milwaukee allow you to take one carry-on bag aboard for free. Some buses have overhead storage, but not all do. Once you buy your cheap bus tickets through momondo, check with the bus company to see where you can store your carry-on. If there is no overhead storage, you will need to remember that your bag will have to go on your lap or under your seat, which could impede your comfort if the luggage is heavy or cumbersome. You can also usually check one bag for free, which will be stowed in the hold below the bus. Check with the bus company to see what size baggage they allow. If the bus company considers luggage to be too big, you will have to ship it for a fee. If you have extra baggage, you can usually check at least one extra bag for a fee. Strollers and car seats are usually checked for free, in addition to your one checked bag. Generally, bicycles, golf clubs, skis and ski poles can be checked for a fee. Different bus companies have slightly different rules about allowable luggage, so once you purchase your cheap bus tickets through momondo, check with the bus company for baggage requirements, restrictions, and fees.

What do I need before boarding a bus from Milwaukee?

From Milwaukee, and indeed from just about anywhere in the United States, you will need a photo ID along with your ticket in order to board a bus.

It is advisable to get to the Milwaukee Intermodal Station about an hour before your bus is scheduled to depart. Since trips aboard buses from Milwaukee seldom have assigned seats, it is important to line up as soon as you can at the bus station to board your bus; this way, you have a greater chance of getting a seat in a location that you want. If your bus has no overhead storage for carry-ons, make sure that you can comfortably hold your carry-on piece of luggage or fit it under your seat.
