Bicycle Script
Transcribed March 2008
Before the bus arrives secure or remove any loose item.
Wait for the bus on the sidewalk.
Alert the Operator that you want to load your bike.
Squeeze the handle to release the latch and lower the rack.
Load your bike from the front or curb side of the Bus.
Each wheel-well is labelled for Front or Rear Tires.
Raise the support arm over the front tire as high as it will go, but not over the frame or fender.
You are responsible for properly securing your bike to the rack. Please sit or stand near the front of the bus to keep your bike in view and alert the Driver one stop before your intended destination.
Exit through the Front Doors and make sure the Driver sees you before stepping off the curb to unload your bike.
To unload your bike raise the support arm off the tire and move it downward out of the way.
Lift your bike from the rack.
If the rack is empty and no one else is waiting to load a bike, fold up the rack until it locks in place.
Carry your bike off the roadway to the sidewalk.
Signal to the Operator that you are clear of the Bus.
