Bicycle transport

By train

Local trains can transport approx. 16 - 20 bicycles in the special compartments or designated train areas. In principle, transporting bicycles on public transport is only possible if there is enough space available and if security is completely guaranteed. It is not possible to make reservations.

By Bus

Bicycles are not transported by bus, except for bus lines 273 (Malles-Martina) and 245 (Merano-Val d'Ultimo), which have special bike rack with space for about 5-6 bicycles (from spring to autumn).

Please note: E-bikes are not transported on buses.

Costs

The bike all-day ticket for € 7 can be purchased at authorized ticket offices and ticket machines and has to be validated at every journey.
