Enjoy The Ride to MCC With RTS!

Starting Sept. 5, MCC students and employees may ride the RTS bus for free on specific routes to and from the Brighton Campus and the Downtown Campus by showing their valid MCC identification cards.

These bus routes -- numbers 5, 55, 155 and 23 -- are available only on weekdays when school is in session, except during intersession. Individuals without a valid MCC ID card must pay the regular RTS fare of $1 per ride.

The hope is that by using the free RTS bus service, MCC students will save money and time as well as have convenient access to classes and resources at both campuses.
