Several buses operating in the Yarra Ranges Council area are being upgraded with bicycle racks, Victoria’s Yarra Ranges Council has announced.
It said commuters using a bus with a bike rack can now ride their bike and load it on the bus to bring on their journey.
Bike racks are being added to busses on the following routes:
- 683 Chirnside Park – Warburton via Lilydale Station & Seville & Yarra Junction;
- 685 Lilydale – Healesville via Lilydale Station & Coldstream & Yarra Glen;
- 686 Healesville – Badger Creek;
- 687 Chum Creek – Healesville.
Bike racks can only fit two bikes at a time and are available on a first-come, first served-basis, the Council said.
Children under 13 must be assistant by an adult when loading a bike onto a rack.
Council says the initiative originated from a project led by the Bus Association Victoria.
Instructions on using these bus bike racks on the Public Transport Victoria website.
