Mississauga
Transit
 You
can board a Mississauga Transit bus with your bike at the
drivers discretion. The decision of the driver shall be
final in this regard. In general, this will only be
permitted when it can be done safely. There must be enough
space on the bus to accommodate yourself and your bike
without compromising the safety of yourself or any other
passengers.
Although bikes can be taken on any bus travelling any route,
provided that safety is maintained, bikes can be best
accommodated on "accessible" buses. Your bike will easily
fit in the space reserved for wheelchairs. Of course, a user
in a wheelchair or scooter has priority on this space. The
routes that currently use accessible busses are: Routes 3
(Bloor), 4 (Applewood), 13 (Clarkson), 19 (Hurontario), 23
(Lakeshore), 28 (Confederation), 34 (Eglinton West) and 48
(Erin Mills Pkwy)
Check the
Mississauga Transit website
for further information.
