- EXISTING TRANSBAY BUSES (don’t count on being able to take your bike on racks)
All transbay lines that operate large green MCI coaches offer space for two bikes on front-loading racks plus luggage bays
AMTRAK CAPITOL TRAINS/TRANSBAY BUSES
Capitol Corridor trains and connecting transbay thruway buses all carry bicycles. Passengers must be ticketed for rail travel. Visit www.capitolcorridor.org
EBBC is advocating for added buses to follow the All Nighter #800 transbay routes that serve East Bay BART Stations.
FERRY SERVICE
Bikes are allowed on board the Harbor Bay Ferry and Alameda/Oakland Ferry to San Francisco. An expanded service schedule is posted at www.eastbayferry.com. E-lockers available at Harbor Bay Terminal. Carry a bungee cord to secure your bike to the rear railing as the racks are likely to be jam-packed.
