Using the Bike Rack:

Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. For safety reasons, the operator may not get off the bus to assist.  As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to go. Remove water bottles and any loose items which may fall off.

When the bus arrives, follow these steps.

 STEP ONE:  Approach the rack from the sidewalk side.

STEP TWO:  Pull the rack down by squeezing the handle in the center and look for the instructions printed on the rack itself.

STEP THREE:  Lift your bike onto the rack. Both tires must fit into the tire slots and the support hook must secure tire.

STEP FOUR:  Pull the arm up and over the bike’s front tire to hold it in place.

Only single seat, two-wheeled bikes are permitted on the rack. Tandem, recumbent, three-wheeled, or motor-driven bicycles are not not permitted on the rack.

When transporting bicycles inside the bus, the following rules apply:

• Seating for passengers will always take priority over space for bicycles.
• Bikes must be secured and the owner should sit near their bike. 
• Bikes must stay clear of the aisle way. 
• If a rider in a wheelchair is occupying the securement area, the bike will not be allowed onboard the bus.
• If the wheelchair securement area is needed by a rider mid-journey, the bike will need to be removed. If there is no room to move the bike to the rack, the rider must disembark the bus with their bike and may have to wait for the next bus.
• Muddy or greasy bikes are not permitted inside the bus.
• Island Transit is not responsible for damage to bicycles.
