Loading Your Bike on the Bus

Secure Your Bike on the Bus

  • Alert the driver before loading your bicycle on the rack.
  • Load your bicycle onto the bike rack from the front of the bus or curb side of the bus.
  • If the rack is empty and folded up, lower it by squeezing the handle with one hand and folding it down.
  • If there's already a bike on the rack, lift your bike into the available slot and place the tires into the wheel wells.
  • Gas powered vehicles including bicycles, mopeds, scooters and Segways are not allowed on the bus.

Unload Your Bike From the Bus

  • Notify the driver when you are ready to leave.
  • Exit using the front door of the bus and retrieve your bike.
  • To release the bike, simply pull the support arm away from the wheel and down and lift your bike off.
  • If the rack is empty, close it by pulling the handle and raising the rack until it locks.
  • After unloading your bike, move towards the curb and signal the bus operator you are done.
  • Wait for the bus to pull away completely before starting to ride.
  • Folding bicycles are allowed inside as long as they are kept with the passenger or stored under the seat.
