Bikes On Buses

at 6:15 pm posted by Karly C

Did you know that 11 city bus routes are equipped with bike racks, and your bike rides free?

The Bikes on Buses project has been made possible by the hard work of:

  • Edmonton Bicycle Commuters’ Society (EBC) staff and volunteers,
  • the generosity of Alberta Ecotrust, for the purchase of bike racks,
  • the City of Edmonton Transportation and Streets Department, Edmonton Transit Branch, for the suggestion, the in kind contributions, the donation of prompts (example, bus tickets), installation of the racks and the advertising campaign, and
  • Community Animation Program (CAP) grant, for funding of community based promotional activities.
