Folding Bikes in Buses

Santa Cruz County Folding Bikes in Buses Incentive Program.

Save up to $200 on a folding bicycle!

Folding Bikes are great for commuting

  • Easy to store securely at work and home
  • Easy to use with a Metro bus trip
  • Inexpensive and reliable

Save up to $70 on two monthly bus passes
Folding bikes are ideal to combine with a bus trip since you can bring a folded bike into the bus (as long as the bike doesn’t block the aisle). Often the bike racks on buses are full for popular bus routes.

How to sign up
