Can I bring a bike on the bus?
Up to three non-motorized bicycles can be stored in the compartments underneath the buses. However, bikes are not stowed securely so they may shift around slightly while the bus is driving and neither 380Express or Windstar Lines are responsible for any damage to bikes while stored on the buses.
