| All HART buses and vans feature bike racks! |
May is National Bike Month and HART makes connecting to the bus by riding a bike a breeze!
Discover how easy (and quick!) it is to Bike & Bus.
HART has bike racks on every bus and van so you can experience the ease of
riding HART with your bike year-round. National Bike Month is a great opportunity to give
it a try!
At HART, we're dedicated to getting our riders to their destination as quickly and efficiently as possible. We see bikes as complementary to our service and that's why we added racks to our buses over 20 years ago. More recently, bike racks have also been added to all of our HARTFlex vans.
Need a bike for just the first or last mile of your trip?
Coast Bike Share stations are set up at a number of HART locations, including
Marion Transit Center, and Dick Greco Plaza Station.
Have a folding bike? HART also permits them in carrying bags
aboard all HART buses and HARTFlex vans. Users of bicycles with larger wheels
should continue using the bicycle rack. Each HART bus and HARTFlex van
accommodates two bicycles. Only single-seat, two-wheel bicycles are permitted
on buses; no tandems or three-wheelers.
Heading to Pinellas County? The Bikes on Buses program also enables
riders to take their bikes with them and transfer from a HART bus to the PSTA network without a special permit.
Bike-friendly transit provides customers with quicker commutes and additional commuting options.
Customers might not view a 30-mile round trip bike ride to downtown as an attractive commute. However, pair a quick 1-2 mile bike ride with a HART route to pick up the majority of the miles and you have some serious pedal power.
Cycling HART riders (almost 20,000 monthly trips) find that bikes not only speed up their commutes but also provide them greater exercise, ground coverage, and route options.
