Riders can find the app by typing 'Umo Mobility' in their app store. It also provides real-time tracking of buses in Milwaukee County.

The cards will be available at more than 200 locations - primarily in low-income areas of Milwaukee - beginning in April. But the new WisGo cards can be purchased with cash, allowing those who don't have access to a credit card or debit card to benefit from fare-capping. Riders paying with cash directly on the bus will not see their fare capped because there is no way to track those payments. People who already use long-term transit passes will automatically be enrolled in WisGo.
