Bicycles on Public Transport

You can travel with a bike on Sydney and intercity trains, Metro trains, and ferry services in NSW for free at any time when there is space available.

Your bike must not prevent other passengers from getting a seat. Ensure that it does not cause inconvenience or risk to other passengers. Keep it secure so it is not a safety concern for other passengers and staff. It must be clear of the aisle, doorways and emergency exits. It is best to avoid peak hour services.

Bikes are not permitted on any buses, including train replacement buses.

• Sydney and Intercity Trains – Note that converted e-bikes are banned from train carriages and platforms. Learn more about the e-bike ban.
• Metro – Use the multipurpose areas in the first and last carriages.
• Light Rail - Staff reserve the right to restrict the number of bicycles or refuse access when services are full or close to capacity. They may also request a passenger to remove their bicycle from a light rail service if they believe a passenger is interfering with the comfort or safety of others.
• Sydney Ferries - Staff may direct you where it is safest to put your bike. Some ferries have bike storage areas. Bikes should not interfere with other passengers or passageways. Private ferries may charge a fee.
• NSW TrainLink Regional trains and coaches - You will need to book your bike in advance as they are classed as checked luggage.
• Bicycle sheds, lockers and racks are provided at many transport interchanges. See the Bicycle Parking section.
