If you ride a bike in Los Angeles, chances are you’ve either thought about, or have actually placed your bike onto a Metro bus–or subway. The LA Metro has been designed to accommodate your bike travel needs.
Below are several links to help you understand more about these programs, how they work, and some links you’ll find informative:
How do you use the bike rack on a Metro bus?
Metro’s Bike Rules
-
Most Metro Buses are equipped with bike racks that hold two bikes. If the rack is full, wait for the next bus.
-
You are responsible for loading, securing and unloading your bicycle from the rack.
-
Never step into traffic while loading or unloading your bike.
-
Never cross the street in front of the bus – passing traffic cannot see you coming around the bus.
-
If an object rolls under the bus, never try to retrieve it. Tell the operator and wait for the bus to pull away, then retrieve it.
-
Make your bike "rack ready" by removing water bottles, pumps or any loose items that might fall off.
-
Tandem bikes or bikes with motors, solid wheels, large racks, child seats or other attachments are not allowed.
-
Folded bikes can be taken on the bus.
