The Rio de Janeiro metro - the emphasis seems to be on getting people to cycle to the station, rather than taking bikes on trains (in the small print it mentions that they're allowed on Sundays and holidays only).
Buenos Aires suburban trains carry bikes at all times, in an area marked 'fourgon' (and using the disabled gates to the platforms).
Leaflet about carrying bikes on Chicago's suburban trains - in to the city after 0930, out except 1500-1700 and at weekends except for festivals. Timetables spell out exactly how many bikes can be carried by each train (2 or 3 in each carri ... [more]
