Bicyclists May Overload Houston Metro Buses
from the Houston Chronicle
With the rapid increase in gasoline prices Metro could be overwhelmed with bicyclists riding to meet buses according to the Houston Chronicle story. As I drive around Houston I have not seen many buses with their front mounted bike rack filled with the two bikes they can carry.
From the Chronicle story:
“In April, 1,510 bus riders boarded after attaching their bicycles to racks, according to Metro. By June, that number increased to 3,624.
Bike racks, which hold up to two bicycles at a time, are installed on all Metro buses, save for the longer accordion-style models. Park & Ride commuters can put bikes in the luggage storage areas, and riders can bring their bikes onto MetroRail trains during nonpeak hours of the day.”
