This is great news, and there are still jackwagons talking about how we shouldn’t be doing this for everyone because it’s cheaper and quicker for them personally to drive.

If this costs the $30 that it cost to get to Chicago, that’s still a lot less than the IRS mileage rate to get between Milwaukee and Madison. And that doesn’t even factor in dealing with/paying for parking or having to drive on East Wash for any reason.

When I'm in Madison I am usually there for business, and while I can and do take Badger Bus, Amtrak will be easier for working (there are tray-tables and quiet cars) and the proposed permanent stop is adjacent to Monona Terrace and an easy walk to the Square, where the bus stop is by UW.
