Route 1, Route 2, Route 3, Route 4, Route 5, Route 6, Route 7, Route 8, Route 9, Route 10, Route 11, Midway, All Fixed Routes

Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day are 3 of the 6 major holidays each year on which our buses run Sunday routes and schedules. This includes our regular fixed route service, Metro Plus ADA, and our Midway Airport Commuter Shuttle. We hope that you have a wonderful holiday season and can take advantage of our service to spend time with friends and family.

Route 3, Route 11

Road construction at the intersection of Armour Rd. and Route 50 frequently causes some of our Bus Stops in the area to be inaccessible. This is a day-to-day situation. If the Bus Stop that you would normally use in not accessible, please go to the nearest accessible Bus Stop.

Midway

Road repair and construction season continues. Unavoidable delays occur on our Midway route due to lane closures, backed-up traffic, etc. Please allow plenty of time to get to the airport and consider taking an earlier bus to assure that you arrive at Midway in time to catch your flight.

Midway

Due to construction in our Bourbonnais Metro Centre parking lot, parking spaces for commuters using our Midway Airport service will be limited to the commuter lot only for the next few weeks. The normal overflow parking area will not be accessible. During this disruption, please consider parking at our Manteno Metro Centre and boarding the Midway Airport shuttle there. Thank you!

Bikes on Buses

Switch from Bike to Bus Travel Seamlessly with RVM

River Valley Metro’s entire bus fleet is equipped with bike racks. It is easy to load and unload your bike. Just…lower…lift…latch!

Loading Your Bike:

Lower – Squeeze the handle & pull down to release the folded bike rack.
Lift – Lift your bike onto the bike rack, fitting wheels into the slots. Front wheel slots are labeled. Load your bike in the rack nearest the bus first, if vacant.
Latch – Pull and release the support arm over the top of the front tire. Make sure the support arm is resting on the tire, not the fender or the frame.
Board the bus

Unloading Your Bike:

Before exiting the bus, notify the operator you will be removing your bicycle.
Pull the support arm off of the tire. Move the support arm down and out of the way. Lift your bike off of the rack.
Return the rack to the upright position, if it is empty.
Move quickly to the curb.

Due to Department of Transportation regulations, motorized bikes, whether fuel or electric powered, are not allowed in our buses or on the bike racks.
