All GOVA Transit buses have bike racks to transport your bike for free.

Bike rack rules
- It is your responsibility to load, unload and secure the bike without help from the bus driver. All riders use the bike racks at their own risk.
- Due to space limitations, you cannot load or unload your bicycle at the GOVA Downtown Mobility Hub, 9 Elm Street, Sudbury. Please exit and board the bus at least one stop away.
- Bike racks are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- A bicycle may be transported on-board a bus at the driver’s discretion. The comfort and safety of other passengers cannot be compromised and the bicycle cannot block the aisle.
- Only non-motorized, single-seated, two-wheeled bikes are allowed on the racks.
- A driver may refuse access to a cyclist due to unsafe conditions or if the bicycle has any items on it that could block the driver’s vision or cause a distraction.
- GOVA Transit is not responsible for damages incurred or caused by or to bicycles, or for lost or stolen bicycles.
How to load your bike onto the bike rack
- Before the bus arrives, remove any non-permanent fixtures from your bike. This includes water bottles.
- Alert the driver that you will be loading your bicycle.
- Approach the bus from the curb. Do not step into oncoming traffic to load your bike. The bike rack is located on the front of the bus.
