Bike Rack Information

  • Bike racks are FREE to use, but passengers must pay the required bus fare.
  • Bikes with motors or child carriers, are not allowed.
  • Bus drivers are not expected to provide physical assistance with operating the bike racks.
  • Bike racks can only accommodate two bikes, so please wait for the next bus if the bike rack is full.
  • LCTA is not responsible for injuries, or damaged or stolen bikes caused from using the bike rack.

Riding with Strollers

LCTA welcomes passengers of all ages. LCTA recommends using a folding “umbrella” style stroller, which may be easily stowed close to you.

When boarding the bus, you may ask the driver to deploy the ramp or lift to assist you.

Once on board, you must collapse and stow away the stroller so stroller does not block the aisle.

You are welcome to sit in priority first row(s), aisle facing seating; but if a person with disability boards, passengers with strollers must move to accommodate.

Please hold your child securely on your lap and make sure children remain seated at all times while on the vehicle. Thank you for your cooperation.
