Bike Tips: Sharing the Road with Transit Buses

Here are 6 tips when sharing the road with Buses:

  1. Don’t pass on the right while a bus is stopped. Stay behind the bus or where drivers can see you. Buses may pull over at a bus stop without warning.
  2. Maintain a straight line while riding. Avoid erratic movements and maintain your manoeuvrability, predictability and visibility (MVP).
  3. Prepare for buses that must cross in and out of bike lanes.
  4. Share the road. Give buses plenty of room. Stay behind or in front, not alongside a bus.
  5. Make eye contact. Ride in the bus driver’s sight line, so that you can see each other in the driver’s side-view mirror.
  6. Don’t play leapfrog. Wait a few moments behind a bus or cycle quickly ahead.
