Many buses around the Valley have bike accessible routes. Buses operating these routes have bike racks installed on the front bumper of the bus. Each rack can securely hold two bicycles at a time. They are simple to operate, with a light-weight design allowing for quick and easy loading and unloading. No additional fare or permit is required to use them.
