Ride Safe

Important Safety Tips

  1. Always tell the operator that you will be loading/unloading your bicycle. This is VERY important as blind spots may prevent the operator from seeing you.
  2. Remember, the operator must stay on the bus and will not be able to assist you with the rack.
  3. While you cannot lock your bike to the rack, you may want to lock your front wheel and frame together.
  4. MCTS assumes no liability for damage or injury incurred to bikes, personal property or persons using the bike racks.
Ride Smart

Smart Tips

  1. Bike racks can only carry two bikes at a time. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please wait for the next bus if the rack is full.
  2. The racks support bikes with 16" & larger wheel. Recumbent bikes, tandem bikes, three-wheeled bikes & motorized bikes are not allowed.
  3. Try to sit near the front of the bus so you're able to watch your bike during your ride.
  4. Don't forget your bike! Remind the driver you need to unload your bike when you get off the bus.
Lost Your Bike?

Smart Tips

  1. Should you forget your bike on the rack, call MCTS Lost and Found at 414-937-3206 or 711 (TRS) and give us the route, location, date and time you lost your bike, as well as a description. MCTS will hold lost bikes for 14 days before donating them to a local nonprofit. Make sure to write down your bike’s serial number to help MCTS match your bike to you when you report it.
