Bike Loading and Safety Tips

It’s easy to bring your bike on board when you #RideDCTA! You can use the bike racks on the front of many of our buses. Bikes may be taken on-board our A-train and on buses not equipped with exterior racks. If priority seating is needed for other riders, you may be asked to move, wait for the next trip, or utilize one of the bike racks located at the Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC) or any A-train station.

We provide personal, step-by-step instruction to senior citizens and those with disabilities on how to effectively use the DCTA system.
