  • Up to two bicycles bikes can be loaded on the rack. Only single-seat, two-wheel bicycles are allowed. Motor-powered vehicles, bikes smaller than 16", and bikes with covered spokes are not allowed.
  • Folding bikes are allowed on the bus, as long as they are folded and stored out of the aisle.
  • PSTA is not responsible for damage to bicycles bikes or related property, except in the event that PSTA is found to be negligent or at fault in an accident. Theft, damage or, injury while loading and/or unloading are the sole responsibility of the passenger/cyclist, not PSTA.
