Walk in front of the bus toward the bike rack.
Bike racks are located on the front bumper of most city buses. As your bus approaches, you’ll be able to tell if the bus is equipped with a rack and if there are other bikes already mounted on it. Bike racks usually have a max capacity of 2 to 4 bikes. Wait until the next bus if the bike rack is already fully occupied.

Hoist your bike by the seat tube and stem.
The seat tube is right under the bike seat, and the stem is the horizontal bar that connects the front and rear wheels of your bike. Place one hand on each area and use your arms to hoist the bike up. Holding the bike from this position provides the most leverage and stability.
Alert the driver that you’re unloading your bike before you exit.
Let the bus driver know you need to get your bike off the rack at the next stop. It’s usually best to do this verbally, to ensure the bus driver hears and understands you. Make sure the driver acknowledges your statement before you get off the bus.
If you don’t alert the driver before you exit, they may drive off with your bike still on the rack.
If this happens, check your local transit website for instructions. There’s usually a Lost and Found Department or a phone number you can contact.
Exit through the front door of the bus.
This is a good time to remind the bus driver that you need to remove your bike from the rack. Give them a wave, or point at the rack, to remind them. Make eye contact with the driver as you do so. Do not step in front of the bus until you’ve made eye contact and you’re sure the bus driver sees you.
