Meet the Voice of Madison Buses
As we head into the new year, we’re wrapping up our series of some of our favorite shows from 2023 with an absolute gem.
If you’ve hopped on a bus in Madison in the past twenty years, you’ve heard his voice.
Next stop… Pinckney at Mifflin. Next stop…
It’s his voice that announces every stop on every Madison Metro bus. He’s always there, guiding us around the city. But you’ve never heard his name… until now.
Meet Ward Paxton, the voice of Madison Metro.
