Monona Transit: Name That Lift

Labels: , ,
So, here's a quiz for you about the City of Monona -- Monona Lift. (hey! No fair peaking!)

How old do you have to be to ride the Monona Lift?

Answer: No upper or lower age requirement.

Well, OK, then but if you aren't senior, don't you have to be 'disbaled' to ride the Monona Lift? Nope.

Hmm, so, anybody can ride the Monona Lift? Yeah, well, you do have to pay the fare.

Monona Lift runs on a route making six loops per day. Loops 1, 2, 4, and 6 go around Monona and to downtown Madison. Loops 3 and 5 go around Monona.

You can also individualize a ride by calling First Transit at 222-3350.

Monona Lift Schedule

OK, Monona still has a limited transit system, but I bet it's better than you thought. But boy, could we use some marketing. The Monona Transit Commission discussed improved marketing and in particular an improved web presence.

Renaming the Lift is one way to change perception and advertise that it is available to all.

Nominate a new name. I like "Monona Rides".

    Monona Rides...I like it! And then you could have commercials on Channel 12 using the BTO oldie "Let it ride" Instead of "ride, ride, ride, let it ride" the jingle could be to that tune, but "ride, ride, ride, Monona Rides..." Get it? I think you could sing it Doug! Or maybe the whole city council could sing it? Of course there may be some disagreement over who sings lead...

    You haven't heard me sing...and with good reason. Bob seems like he can probably sing.

    I like Monona Rides too-
    And I bet Chad can sing- have you heard him on the radio? I did see him sandbagging last Sunday- much appreciated!

    Could you explain the difference between Monona Express and Monona LIft? You don't mention express in your post, but the city website differentiates? What is up with that?

    More publicity and information out there is all needed. I also think folks need to ride the bus and talk to the folks who frequently ride the bus.

    how many riders currently....AND...what is the cost?

    Probably be cheaper to give taxi rides...no?
