Palm Tran's BOB - Bikes on Buses program allows customers to take a bicycle on the bus by securing it onto a bicycle rack attached to the front of every Palm Tran bus. Palm Tran bus routes more widely accessible to customers and potential customers who do not live or work close to a bus route. It will also enable recreational travelers to take the bus to some of the most desirable bike riding locations in the county. By increasing ridership, farebox revenue and system usage.
Customers pay the regular fare but there is no additional charge for bringing a bike.
No permit is required. No, as long as the riders can independently put the bike on the rack, they may use the system. Children and persons unable to lift their bikes must be accompanied by another rider capable of lifting the bikes. No, the actual time to load and secure , or unload a bike is approximately 20 seconds. Plus, on every bus there will be BOB brochures and interior signs which explain the easy loading instructions.
