Abstract

A growing number of transit agencies across North America and Europe permit bicycles to be carried on board buses, subways, and railway vehicles. This marriage of bicycles and transit, which is part of the growing use of bicycles to get to and from suburban express transit services, combines many of the best features of both bicycles and public transportation. Recent research concerning bikes-on-transit from American cities and from foreign sources not readily accessible to North American transportation professionals is reviewed. Recommendations for the further development of bicycle-transit integration are offered as a potentially important strategy for reducing suburban traffic congestion and boosting the performance and productivity of suburban transit services.
