Monona Express is a provider of mass transportation with commuter bus service between Monona and Madison, Wisconsin. Since 2022, the city has studied whether to discontinue the service in favor of switching to Madison Metro, which would streamline transfers and operations of transit services in the Monona area.[1][2] As of December 2023 the Monona city council has elected to join the Metro Transit network and wind down the Monona Express service, Monona is slated to served by a new branch of the Metro "C" route as well as new stops along the existing "G" and "L" routes along Monona Dr which previously ran express through the city. A final date for Monona Express has not been established as of December 2023.[3]

Monona Express operates two weekday commuter bus routes between Monona and Madison.
