Bike Rack Guidelines

CRTMA is pleased to announce that its new CNG low-floor bus fleet features onboard bike racks. Each bus can carry two standard bicycles. If you wish to use the bike racks, please familiarize yourself with our Bike Rack Usage Guidelines.

Board at Designated Stops Only

Per the instructions of the Cambridge License Commission, EZRide Shuttle drivers cannot board or discharge passengers outside of the designated stop areas. Charles River TMA and Paul Revere Transportation have stepped up enforcement of this policy. Passengers are asked not to approach buses that are stopped in traffic outside of stops and to only board at designated stop locations.

Boarding passengers outside of bus stops creates unsafe situations for both passengers and other motorists and cyclists. Established bus stops ensure that buses do not make unexpected stops while in traffic, and also discourage passengers from walking into traffic to reach buses. We ask for your cooperation and understanding to help ensure a safe shuttle operation for passengers and the general public alike.
