Bikes on buses
Aberdeenshire council and StageCoach Bluebird are working in partnership to allow cyclists to stow their bicycles on a number of Stagecoach services throughout Aberdeenshire.
The services allowing bikes to be stored are listed below:
On the Aberdeen to Inverness route only the number 10 service has bike carrying capacity.
On the Deeside route low floored vehicles are sometimes used, which are unable to carry bikes. You can phone 0345 241 8000 or email customer.services@stagecoachbus.com to check with the operator before travelling.
For other services, simply inform the driver when boarding the bus. They will open the luggage hold and allow the bike to be stored at no extra cost.
