How to Ride MCT

  • Plan your ride. Pick-up a schedule or visit the Maps & Schedules page.
  • Board your MCT bus at any MCT bus stop along the desired route and wave so the driver knows to pull over.
  • Show the driver your Summer Youth Pass. Have your school ID with you in case the driver asks to see it.
  • Have a seat and ride for FREE all summer long!
  • Pull the cord one block before you would like to get off. The driver will let you off at the next safe intersection or bus stop sign.
