The article discusses concerns raised<\/a> by Congressman Bryan Steil,a Republican from suburban milwaukee<\/a>,about fare evasion on Milwaukee County buses. Steil has called on the federal government to provide oversight of the city’s bus system after reports revealed that about one-third of riders are not paying thier fares. This fare evasion has resulted in nearly $7 million in lost revenue this year, contributing to the system’s $11 million deficit. Steil emphasizes the need for transparency, standards, and enforcement to ensure fairness to those who pay and to protect taxpayer funds<\/a>, given that the federal government subsidizes the Milwaukee bus system with approximately $50 million. He advocates for the Department of Transportation to establish and enforce clear oversight to address waste,fraud,and abuse in the transit system.
