SEPTA Adds Routes to the Bike Accessible Network

SEPTA Adds Routes to the Bike Accessible Network

Effective September 4...Routes 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 46, 47, 47M, 48, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 61, 64, 65, 70, 73, 80, 88, 310, C, G, HXH, K, R, and LUCY will been added to the bicycle accessible route network. All City and Suburban Transit Division bus Routes (with the exception of Routes 23, 29, 59, 66, 75, 79) will be equipped with front-mounted bicycle racks that can accommodate two bikes.

5 of the 6 Routes listed in Italics are trackless trolley routes. SEPTA retired the trackless trolleys in 2003 and has been running the older Neoplan buses on these routes ever since. SEPTA will be purchasing new trackless trolleys hopefully with bike racks in 2007 or 2008.

So that's it, although with about 100 rackless buses floating around there's always a chance that your bus may show up without a rack. If that happens notify the Bicycle Coalition and SEPTA customer service.
