MCTS is clearly a public transit system. There may be other buses operated by non-public contractors to the city/county or buses operated by private companies. These certainly have the righteous power to permit/prohibit at will.Wisc. Stats. Ann. said:§ 167.31 Safe use and transportation of firearms and bows.
(1) DEFINITIONS
[ ... ]
(h) “Vehicle” has the meaning given in s. 340.01 (74), and includes a snowmobile, as defined in s. 340.01 (58a), and an electric personal assistive mobility device, as defined in s. 340.01 (15pm), except ...
[ ... ]
(2) PROHIBITIONS; MOTORBOATS AND VEHICLES; HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS.
[ ... ]
(b) Except as provided in sub. (4), no person may place, possess or transport a firearm, bow or crossbow in or on a vehicle, unless the firearm is unloaded and encased or unless the bow or crossbow is unstrung or is enclosed in a carrying case.
Also the concealed cary ban bans the encased weapon from being possessed within reach - a real problem for gun owners and needs to be repealed or amended like many or most of Wisconsin's gun laws.
You keep saying that and it just isn't true. The case in question isn't 'published'.
A case not being "published" is not a big deal - it still announces the law and everyone knows it's there.
One reason a case might not be "published" is because it does not announce new law - the statute against concealed carry in Wisconsin has been construed by courts in published decisions that clearly confirm that possessing a concealed gun within reach is unlawful.

It must be true because I got a citation for an uncased bow in the cargo area of my car about 15 years ago.

Because it was uncased, not because it was in the cargo area.
