Bring your bike for a ride on the Big Blue Bus.
At Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus, we believe we've got the best wheels around. Of course, sometimes our riders like to travel on two wheels. That's why our buses are now equipped with convenient and easy to use front-mounted bike racks. Try one out, it's free with your paid fare. Before you know it, you and your bicycle will be riding around with the greatest of ease.
Easier than riding a bike.
When we say our bike racks are easy to use, we mean it. Follow these simple steps and see for yourself.
Loading
- When the bus doors open, let the driver know you'll be loading your bike onto the rack.
- Approach the bike rack from the curb.
- Lower the bike rack from its folded position until it's parallel to the ground. It's easily done with one hand so you can hold onto your bike at the same time.
- Place your bike in the rack's wheel slots closest to the bus.
- Raise the support arm over the top of your bike's front tire.
- Board the bus.
That's it. Your bike is now securely stowed and you're both ready to ride.
Unloading
- Before you reach your stop, tell your driver you need to unload your bike.
- Approach the bike rack from the curb.
- Lower the support arm from the top of your bike's front tire.
- Lift your bike out of the rack.
- If there is no other bike, fold up the rack.
- Take your bike and continue your commute.
