Passengers must not travel with any article that is bulky or dangerous. Passengers may be refused admission to the vehicle if accompanied by an animal, subject to the discretion of the driver (not applicable to assistance dogs). Only folding bicycles are permitted on board Uno vehicles, providing they do not present a risk to other passengers, their property or our vehicle. We encourage owners of collapsible bikes to use a bike bag to prevent sharp edges from being exposed, folding bikes in bike bags can go in to the luggage pen. Folding bicycles must not be taken upstairs on double-deckers. If the buses are very full our drivers can use their discretion as to whether there is space for the bicycle, unless it is in a bag in which case it can fit in the luggage pen. Where a driver believes that the regulations have been contravened by a passenger, the driver can demand the name and address of the passenger. The driver may also request the passenger to leave the vehicle, or may seek the assistance of the Police to achieve removal.
