Western Kenosha County Transit and Kenosha Area Transit honor one another's transfers.

Saturday service was discontinued effective January 1, 2011.

In February 2014, a new schedule was issued which increased the flexibility of the route service by encouraging riders to utilize the route deviation option. Deviations up to a half of a mile off the route are available to all riders for an additional $1.00 charge. Additionally, bus stops at two residential complexes in Twin Lakes and a stop at the Twin Lakes Community Library were added.[3]
