Step 1
Call your local transit authority to find out the policies regarding bikes on trains and buses. You may need to attend a short class to learn how to get your bike on board, and you may need to get a permit to get onto trains or buses with your bike.
-
Step 2
Get maps from your transit authority that outline transit routes so that you can figure out which route is best for your commute.
-
Step 3
Figure out how much biking you want to do every day and how much public transportation you can tolerate, and find a transit point that satisfies both.
-
Step 4
Consider biking to the train or bus station, leaving your bike and then taking mass transit the rest of the way. This can be a helpful solution if your area doesn't allow bikes on mass transit or the hours they do don't work with your schedule.
-
Step 5
Think about biking to the gym, if you belong to one, and getting ready for work there before catching mass transit the rest of the way.
