Bike bus

Most bike buses are a form of collective bicycle commuting (usually parents cycling their children together).

[6] Bike Bus is run by members of Bicycle New South Wales, Australia on a voluntary basis[7] and has received funding from The Department of Environment and Water Resources, through the Low Emissions Technology and Abatement – Strategic Abatement program.

[12] This bike bus ran every Monday in March 2011 from Sutton to Kingston upon Thames, UK, a total distance of roughly 7.5 miles.

Arguably one of the longest continually running Bike Buses (2019 – ), with greatest distance travelled of over 5 kilometres, the D12BikeBus is parents and children banding together to cycle safely to school while lobbying councils to make their way safer and easier.

Bicibús.eu is a European initiative to create bike bus projects in collaboration with municipalities and educational communities.

It also provides resources such as the 'Bicibús KIT' or a mobile application to set up a bicycle bus in a school.

Riding school bus programs have been developed in a number of local councils in Victoria, Australia, including City of Merri-bek[16] and Shire of East Gippsland.
