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.
