Bike and Ride

All 13 fixed route buses operated by the Greater Mankato Transit System are equipped with front end bike racks capable of transporting two bicycles at a time.

• Any passenger may opt to make use of the bike racks at any time.
• Use of the bike racks is free of charge.
• Use of the bike racks is on a “first come, first serve” basis.
• The owner of the bike is responsible for the safe loading/unloading of their bicycle.
• If a passenger is unsure how to load/unload a bicycle from the bike rack, our driver will be more than happy to render assistance.
• Only bicycles are allowed to be transported on the bike racks.
• After removing your bicycle from the bike rack wait until the bus has passed to cross the street.
