Two Ways to Ride

There are two ways to bike and ride on Metrorail. You can ride Metrorail with your bike or store your bike in a locker before boarding the train. Catch Metrorail with your bike anytime. Just pay your Metrorail fare, roll your bike through the handicap gate, and take the elevator to the platform. Always be prepared to show your bike permit at the request of transit officials.

Call the bicycle / pedestrian coordinator at 305-375-1647.

How to ride Metrobus with your bike

Remove loose items to prepare your bike for loading. Flag down a rack-equipped bus, and wait until the bus comes to a complete stop. No Bike & Ride permit is needed. On occasion, a bus may arrive with an occupied, missing, or out-of-service bicycle rack. If so, please wait for the next bus.

1. Lower the Bike Rack
   Each rack holds two bikes. To mount your bicycle on the rack, squeeze the silver rack handle up with one hand to release the latch. Carefully lower the rack.

2. Load Your Bike
   Place your bike into the "front" and "rear" slots. If yours is the first bike on the rack, mount it in the slots nearest the front of the bus.

3. Secure Your Bike
   Raise the bike support arm over the front wheel as far as possible. The arm must rest on the tire, not the fender.

4. Board the Bus
   Once on the bus, pay your fare to continue your trip. As the bus approaches your stop, let the operator know you must unload your bike. Exit through the front door. To unload, release the support arm and lift the bike from the rack. If the rack is empty, squeeze the silver handle to return the rack to the upright or closed position.
