Travelling with a bicycle
You can also take your bicycle on public transport. When doing so, please observe the advice and tips below.
You are allowed to transport a bicycle on most lines in the ZVV network provided it is not dirty and there is enough space in the carriage. Please note, however, that the ZVV is not obliged to carry bicycles. Passengers are responsible for loading, unloading and transferring their bicycles.

Taking bicycles on the S-Bahn
The double-deck carriages and Regio-Dosto trains of the SBB, the articulated railcars of Thurbo AG and SOB FLIRT trains have designated spaces for bicycles. Please look for the bicycle symbols on the doors.
Taking bicycles on the tram
If you get on the last carriage of a tram, there will usually be enough room for your bicycle.
Taking bicycles on the bus
The second door from the front of a bus is usually best: As a rule, you will find enough space to accommodate your bicycle.
