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.<\/p>\n
From the Chronicle story:<\/p>\n
“In April, 1,510 bus riders boarded after attaching their bicycles to racks, according to Metro. By June, that number increased to 3,624.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
