You may have noticed the awesome new infrastructure going in on Wisconsin Ave - Wisconsin's FIRST bus rapid transit line. Part of what will make this bus so awesome (aside from the electric buses, the off-board ticketing, and the at grade boarding) is that it has deadicated Bus lanes on almost 50% of its route. But when you are riding a bike you might have some questions about how to navigate the lines. Luckily, MCTS has answered all of your questions

but for the short and sweet facts here they are:  

-Cyclists are allowed to travel in the dedicated bus lane.

-Be aware of approaching vehicles.
