Bikes on Bus

Bicycle racks are available on all RTA, SCT and SLO Transit buses. Bicycles may be boarded at any designated bus stop. Good weather and a large community of bike riders sometimes fill bus bike racks to capacity. You should always have necessary equipment to lock your bike in case bike racks on the bus are full.
