How to Load and Unload Your Bicycle on an RTS Bus

You can take your bicycle with you anywhere RTS goes! Most RTS buses have bike racks on the front that hold up to two bicycles. If you wish to use the bike rack, signal the driver that you are going to the front of the bus. You will be responsible for loading and unloading your bicycle.

RTS will transport battery-powered bicycles in the bicycle rack and inside RTS buses.

  • Bike wheels must fit securely in the rack and be secured by the support arm as recommended by the manufacturer.
