How to Load Your Bike on the Bus

Every METRO Transit bus is equipped with a bike rack that can hold two bikes. Bikes are not allowed inside buses unless they can collapse to the size of a standard piece of luggage.

Getting On The Bus

1. Make sure the bus stops completely and the driver acknowledges you before you step in front of the bus. Never approach a stopped bus from the street side, as you cannot safely determine when a driver is about to leave a stop.
2. Squeeze the handle on the top of the rack and lower it. Place your bike in the rack and place the bar over your front wheel (as close to the frame as possible).
3. Remove any loose items or valuables from your bike, including panniers, then board the bus and pay your fare.

Getting Off The Bus

1. Let the driver know that you have a bike to remove, especially when exiting through the rear door. Never step in front of the bus until you are sure the driver sees you.
2. Remove your bike and fold up the rack if it is empty.
3. Go to the nearest curbside. Never cross in front of the bus, as passing traffic cannot see you.
