Metro Transit staff has told me they have no way to count usage of the bike racks so I'd be curious to find out how MCTS did it. Don't know if they ask drivers to push a button on the farebox or if they have an automated way of counting.

It would be interesting to compare since they have had racks for so long, but the Madison bike mode share is so much higher. http://www.bfw.org/2011/10/26/bike-use-on-milwaukee-buses-up-50-in-2011/ Yours in cycling, Dave Schlabowske Communications Director Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin 414-271-9685 414-736-2209 [email protected] www.bfw.org
