Route 17 DePere Question

This is for the person who asked about the Route 17 question to DePere. You would take the number 11 bus from the metro hub on University Ave. The number 11 will turn into the number 17 by Broadview and take you into DePere. You stay on the same bus, you do not have to transfer to another bus. On the return trip it is exactly the same except reverse, you stay on the number 17, and it changes routes on Broadview and turns into the number 11, and this will bring you back to the downtown hub on University Ave.
