It’s now easier to take your bike on the bus on a number of Highland scheduled services thanks to a pilot being run by HITRANS, the regional transport partnership for the Highlands and Islands, in partnership with Scottish Citylink and Stagecoach. Reusable bike socks (covers) will be available on coach services provided by Stagecoach between Inverness and Caithness, and by Scottish Citylink on services between Inverness and Skye, Fort William and Ullapool. The covers fit easily over the wheels and chain mechanism, allowing the bike to be safely carried in the luggage compartment of the coach.There will be two socks available on each service. Both hire of the sock and carriage of the bike are free of charge. If the pilot service proves popular, a booking service may be introduced in the future. The scheme will benefit local people wishing to take the bus and then cycle for their onward journey, and visitors travelling to or from the Highlands and islands for cycle touring holidays.
