Sharing the Road with Buses

Buses and bikes are considered equal under the Highway Traffic Act, but a ten ton bus is harder to stop than a 15 kg bike.

Here are some tips from Citizens for Safe Cycling and OC Transpo to help make your cycling trip more enjoyable!

• Before you start, ensure your bike is in good shape and don't forget your helmet!

• Ride by the same rules as motorists, use signals and abide by the posted signage.

• Avoid riding in the blind spots at the sides and rear of the bus where the driver cannot see you.

• Stay well back and on the left side of the bus and remember that buses stop often.

• Always pass a bus on the left and don't get trapped between the bus and the curb.

• Allow plenty of room when passing a bus.

• Be bright at night! Use a headlight, tail-light, reflectors and light-coloured clothing so that drivers can see you.

• Take a defensive cycling course from EnviroCentre.
