Tips
If you are not within walking distance
of an IndyGo bus stop, consider biking part of the way. All IndyGo
Fixed Route buses are equipped with bike racks. Each bus can carry
two bikes at a time. It’s very easy to load and unload your
bike. If you have questions, please ask your operator.
Loading Your Bike: 1. Tell the bus driver you’re loading your
bike. Load from the curbside only. Do not step beyond the driver’s
side of the bus into the traffic lane to load your bike. 2. Pull down to release folded bike rack. 3. Lift your bike onto the rack, fitting wheels into
the slots. Each slot is labeled for front and rear wheels. Your bike
must fit securely in the rack in order to be transported. 4. Raise and release the support arm over the top
of the front tire. Make sure the support arm is resting on the tire
and not on the fender of the bike.
Unloading
Your Bike:
1. Tell the driver you need to unload your bike when you
approach your stop. 2. Raise the support arm off the tire. Move the support
arm down, out of your way. 3. Lift your bike out of the rack. 4. Fold up the bike rack if there is no other bike
in the rack. 5. Return to the curb with your bike and wait for
the bus to leave before entering traffic.
