Mobility-friendly travel

GizzyBuses feature a low-floor design, making boarding and travel easier for passengers with mobility challenges, including those using wheelchairs, mobility aids or pushchairs.

Bike racks

GizzyBuses are fitted with bike racks. There's no extra cost to bring your bike on board. You're responsible for loading and unloading your own bike. Just signal the driver if you would like to use the bike rack.
