In general, transport may be refused in the following cases:

  • High passenger numbers are expected due to rush hour
  • Groups have been announced on the journey, even if they are scheduled to board at stops after the one requested for boarding with bicycles
  • Bicycles are too dirty and may excessively soil passengers and the vehicle
  • The final decision on this matter is at the discretion of the driver/conductor. We recommend contacting the individual company for further information.
