Bike & Ride
Combining biking with Metro is a great way to get around more easily and get you where you need to go. Riding your bike also helps reduce your oil consumption and increases physical activity. You can use the bike racks on Metro buses, bring your bike on MetroLink, park your bike at one of our station bike racks, and many MetroLink station and MetroBus routes link up to the bike trails and systems throughout the region. Please take some time to understand how to use bikes with Metro.
Bikes on MetroLink
Bikes are allowed on the rear of the first train car, and the front and rear of the second car. Non-electric Motorized bicycles, scooters or motorcycles are not allowed. Do not use the kick stand or leave your bike.
Bikes on MetroBus
Missouri MetroBuses are equipped with a two-bike rack available on first-come, first-served basis. Bike racks are currently not available on MetroBuses in Illinois.
