Ulsterbus services:

Bicycles are carried free of charge if the bus has a boot and space is available. Fold-up bicycles can be carried at any time on-board the vehicle.

Bicycles must not be placed where they could obstruct any gangway or any passenger entrance or exit.
Where it is necessary to transfer to another vehicle or vehicles before completion of journey, the availability of sufficient accommodation for bicycles cannot be guaranteed.
