Using BlueGO Bike Racks

All BlueGO fixed route buses and most shuttles are equipped with bicycle racks. For additional information on bicycle racks on specific routes, please call BlueGO at (530) 541-7149. Bicycle racks are generally on BlueGO OnCall, Gold Route 13, Purple Route 14, Routes; 20X, 21X, 22, 23, 24X, 30, 40, 50, 52, 53, 54 and 55. Soon the entire fleet will be equipped with bicycle racks.

If the bicycle racks are full, bicycles may be brought inside the bus at the bus operator's discretion.

Only single-rider, two-wheel bicycles are permitted. No motor, tandem or three-wheel bikes are allowed. There is no age limit for riders using the bike racks or bringing bikes on board the bus. However, riders must be able to load and unload their bikes without help from the bus operator.

BlueGO, the South Tahoe Area Transit Authority or its member agencies or its contractor, and MV Transportation, Inc. are not responsible for damages to or caused by bicycles on BlueGO or South Tahoe Area Transit Authority or its member agencies' property or vehicles.

Before the bus arrives remove all detachable items from the bike, such as bags, air pumps, and water bottles.

Always load and unload your bike from the curb side of the bus.

Unloading

1. When approaching your stop, let the bus operator know you will unload your bike and then exit through the front door of the bus.
2. Lift the support arm from the bike's tire and lower it to the magnet on the rack.
3. Take your bike out of the rack.
4. If the rack is empty, raise the rack up against the bus.
